A Pilgrimage for Global Peace

The Peace Pilgrimage from Auschwitz to Hiroshima is a profound journey that symbolizes the transition from the darkest moments of human history to a future of hope and unity. Convened by Unity.Earth/Japan, this week-long event in September culminates on the International Day of Peace in Hiroshima on September 21, 2024. The pilgrimage gathers peace advocates from around the world to inspire global healing and reconciliation. Starting in Tokyo and traveling to Mt. Fuji, the journey ends in Hiroshima, a city reborn from the ashes of war into a beacon of peace.
