Prince William to lead nation in Holocaust Memorial Day service
Prince William is set to take part in a special service in London attended by survivors from around the world who have spent their lives fighting extremism
The Prince of Wales will take centre stage at a Guildhall ceremony in London to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, where he will deliver a poignant reading to an audience of survivors and international guests who have dedicated their lives to combating extremism.
This year's commemoration on January 27 coincides with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia, with the prince's address aligning with the theme "for a better future".
Worldwide ceremonies will pay tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, as well as the millions of others who suffered under Nazi persecution and those killed in subsequent genocides in Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Cambodia.
On the same day, the King will make his inaugural visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau site in Poland as part of a one-day trip to the country.
A Royal insider noted: "As part of an unending commitment to remember those who perished and suffered from the horrors of the past, the Prince of Wales is honoured to take part in such an important commemoration."
In 2020, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, attended a ceremony at Central Hall in Westminster to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Holocaust. During the emotional event, Prince William read an excerpt from a letter penned by a friend of his great-grandmother, Princess Alice, highlighting her efforts to rescue Jews in Athens.
Meanwhile, Kate released photographs of Holocaust survivors as part of an exhibition marking 75 years since the genocide ended. She described her subjects as "two of the most life-affirming people that I have had the privilege to meet", reports The Mirror.
The portraits later became part of an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum London, featuring 50 contemporary portraits of Holocaust survivors and their families.
Recently, it was reported that Charles will become the first British monarch to visit Auschwitz, following in the footsteps of Prince William and Kate, who made a poignant pilgrimage to the Stutthof camp in northern Poland in 2017, where 65,000 people lost their lives during the German occupation.
The experience left a deep impact on the Royal couple, who described it as "shattering" and a "terrible reminder of the cost of war".
In 2005, the late Queen Elizabeth II made her last official foreign trip to Germany, which included her first-ever visit to a concentration camp, Bergen-Belsen, where she laid a wreath and met with Holocaust survivors.
King Charles, at the venerable age of 76, is scheduled to engage with Krakow's local community members before being escorted through the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial by individuals who endured the horrors there. His Majesty is also outlined to hold discussions with Poland's President, Andrzej Duda.
Earlier on Tuesday, during a poignant exchange at Buckingham Palace, where it was confirmed that he would join global dignitaries at the commemoration site, King Charles met with Manfred Goldberg, aged 94. Visibly moved by the declining number of Holocaust survivors, the monarch shared his profound sorrow with Mr Goldberg and expressed his sense of duty to partake in this "important" occasion in Poland.
The event is set to witness participation from representatives of over 20 countries, including survivors of the Holocaust, known in Hebrew as the Shoah—a tragedy that culminated in the death of six million Jews. The notorious extermination camp Auschwitz, where the Nazis annihilated more than one million lives—including Jews, ethnic Poles, Roma people, Soviet prisoners of war, and other groups—will serve as a stark backdrop to the remembrance.
Following the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most expansive degree of Nazi concentration camps, by the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front, barely 7,000 prisoners were discovered surviving. Each year, Holocaust Memorial Day is observed on January 27th, which has stood as an official day for contemplation, remembrance, and education since 2005.
