March of the Living (MOTL) is a worldwide two-week trip for high school seniors to learn about the Holocaust by traveling to sites of concentration/death camps and Jewish historical sites in Poland and Israel. The mission statement of MOTL International states that participants will be able to "bolster their Jewish identity by acquainting them with the rich Jewish heritage in pre-war Eastern Europe." However, this claim has never been studied quantitatively. Therefore, 152 adolescents who participated in MOTL voluntarily completed an initial background questionnaire, a Jewish Identity Survey and a Global Domains Survey pre-MOTL, end-Poland and end-Israel. Results suggest that Jewish identity did not substantially increase overall or from one time period to the next.
生命大游行（MOTL）是一项为期两周的全球旅行，面向高中生，通过前往波兰和以色列的集中营/死亡营和犹太历史遗址，让他们了解大屠杀。MOTL 国际的使命声明称，参与者将能够“通过让他们了解战前东欧丰富的犹太遗产，增强他们的犹太身份认同”。然而，这一说法从未进行过定量研究。因此，152 名参加 MOTL 的青少年在出发前、波兰之行结束时和以色列之行结束时自愿完成了一份初始背景问卷、一份犹太身份认同调查和一份全球领域调查。结果表明，整体上或从一个时间段到下一个时间段，犹太身份认同并没有显著增加。
