Each year this remembrance march commemorates the Cracovian Jews murdered during the Holocaust, including all those who perished in the Kraków Ghetto, and all the victims of the KL Płaszów concentration camp. The event typically takes place on the first Sunday after the anniversary of the liquidation of the Kraków Ghetto, which occured on the 13th and 14th of March 1943.
At noon an official ceremony takes place at Plac Bohaterów Getta - the ghetto’s central public square and place from which deportations took place - before the march begins in the direction of the former Płaszów concentration camp. Along the way the march stops at the fragment of the original ghetto wall on ul. Lwowska, and it terminates at the memorial at Płaszów at about 13:15, where Kaddish will be recited for all the victims. A free bus for participants returns to Plac Bohaterów Getta at 13:45.
