Participant Statement of Understanding

The March of the Living is an intense and demanding physical and emotional experience. I have evaluated my ability to participate based on the following factors:

Social environment: MOL participants will be members of up to one bus group of people. The group will eat, travel and participate in activities together for the entire duration of the trip.

Activity: MOL participants will face a new and strenuous environment which will be physically as well as emotionally stressful. In Poland, they will visit places such as the Nazi extermination camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek where they will be emotionally affected. The program starts immediately upon arrival to the various destinations, with no rest after traveling. The programming runs from early morning (7am) to late at night (11pm-12am) with very little “down-time” and minimal sleep. Participants will experience long bus rides and walking long distances.

Medical Facilities: The medical facilities available for participants will cover only acute illnesses and accidents. There are no facilities available within the framework of the MOL for the treatment of chronic disturbances. If medication is required while under the auspices of the program, it is advisable that participants travel with a written prescription for each medication. Since medication is often not available under the same trade name as in the country of origin, the full pharmacological name of all medicines and drugs should be supplied. In any event, participants should bring an extra supply of the required medicine with them.
