An event known as the "מצעד החיים" (English: March of the Living, MOTL) is
held every year on January 27, the day in which the "International Holocaust
Remembrance Day" or "International Day in Memory of the Victims of the
Holocaust" is observed (in Germany officially since 1996 and internationally
since the passing of the
Resolution 60/7 of the UN General Assembly of
January 24, 2005 (other sources mention November 1), 2005 to come into effect
since 2006), a 3 km march is held, from Auschwitz to Birkenau, to commemorate
the victims of the "השואה" (English: Catastrophe, more formally and commonly
accepted as Holocaust, romanized as Shoah, or more commonly known as Holocaust
Memorial Day, transliterated as Yom HaShoah). 27 January was chosen to
commemorate the date that Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red
Army in 1945, Auschwitz being the biggest concentration camp and most commonly
known, located around Auschwitz (Oświęcim).

There's a commemorative flag for the 2018th edition of the MOTL, in which
both, the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel in
1948 and 30th anniversary of the first MOTL in 1988, are observed. The flag
is a white horizontal flag with the commemorative logo in the middle in light
blue (video here:
