On August 6th, 2019, Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, and Meek Mill, a popular American rapper, joined a Holocaust Remembrance March in Poland. The march was held to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration camp in which over 1.1 million people were killed during World War II.
Kraft and Mill were joined by thousands of people from around the world who gathered to pay their respects to the victims of the Holocaust. The march began at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and ended at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw. During the march, Kraft and Mill laid wreaths at both sites in honor of those who perished in the Holocaust.
Kraft and Mill’s participation in the march was part of a larger effort to raise awareness about the Holocaust and to ensure that its victims are remembered. Kraft and Mill both spoke about their experiences during the march, emphasizing the importance of remembering those who were lost and of standing up against hatred and bigotry.
