King's salute to survivors
Manchester Evening News|January 28, 2025
THE King has said the testimony of Holocaust survivors teaches us to "never be a bystander in the face of violence and hate", as in Poland yesterday he met some of those who lived through one of humanity's darkest hours.
King's salute to survivors

Charles visited the heart of the Polish city of Krakow's Jewish community during commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the nearby former Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau.

He told those gathered at the city's Jewish Community Centre that remembering the "evils of the past remains a vital task, and knowledge should be used to inspire people to "build a kinder and more compassionate world".

Commemorations at the site of the concentration camp in Oswiecim, Poland, began when Poland's President Andrzej Duda joined Auschwitz survivors in laying wreaths and candles at a symbolic location. Their tributes were left at a reconstruction of the Death Wall, the site where several thousand people - mainly Polish political prisoners - were executed.

In a speech, Mr Duda said "we Poles are the guardians of memory today", and had a duty to maintain the life stories of the survivors.

After meeting members of Krakow's Jewish Community, the King gave a speech and told the guests that to be in Poland to mark 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz was "sombre and indeed a sacred moment".
