Holocaust Fallen Day – Last: King Charles issues vital warning to the world on Auschwitz's release anniversary

While the world marks the 80th year of the release of the Nazi extermination field, author Thomas Harding is one of the few people who met the family of the Auschwitz intellectual author.

Here, he remembers exactly what Rudolf Hoess's daughter told him about the next -side life where more than one million innocents were murdered:

Another survivor of the Holocaust has remembered the “constant black smoke that turns off the burned meat from the chimneys” of the concentration camp.

Leon Weintraub told the audience in a memory service that marked the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation that when we arrived at the extermination field: “We were stripped of our humanity.”

He said: “I suffered a lot, I felt so alone, I was brutally separated from my family, I suffered due to the constant black smoke that stampled to the burned meat from the chimneys.”

A Holocaust survivor recalled having had five and a half years when he saw “from my hiding place as all my little friends were arrested and taken to his death.”

Tova Friedman told an audience of dignitaries around the world: “I remember that as a five and a half year old boy, watching from my hiding place while all my little friends were rounded and taken to death, while the anguish and screams From his parents they fell on deaf ears … I remember thinking: “Am I the only Jewish child in the world?”

A holocaust survivor has told the audience in a ceremony that commemorates Auschwitz's liberation: “We are here to proclaim that we will never allow history to be repeated.”

Tova Friedman, who was only six and a half years old when the Nazi countryside was released, said: “I represent the children. Very few of us remain. Four Chiildren survived from my city.

“So I'm here to talk about those who are not here. And I feel very honored to talk to this type of audience that has come from everyone to cry, remember and honor the memory of our people who were so brutally murdered by the Nazis.

“However, we are also here to proclaim that we will never allow history to be repeated.”

The next generation should not be allowed to concentrate on the “clickbait” online and ignore the umbrellas of the Holocaust, said David Lammy.

The Foreign Secretary said young people needed to understand “how the seeds of such catastrophe still surround us.”

Speaking at a reception co-presented by the Israeli embassy in the United Kingdom, Lammy said: “'Never again' is a solemn promise that we owe to the victims, but also that we must maintain for our own good, and for the sake of the good of the future generations.

“We need the memory of the Holocaust. Holocaust education. Action against anti -Semitism: it is how we build a better future for all of us together. ”

Tottenham's deputy said: “As a black man descended from the Windrush generation, as MP for the most diverse constituency in Britain, including, I am proud to say, a prosperous Jewish community, and now, as secretary of Foreign Affairs, I see Too many signs of that persistent infection.

“Auschwitz did not start in its gas cameras. Genocide does not begin with genocide.

“It begins with the denial of rights. With attacks on the rule of law. With a resentment of the other.

The king has said that the testimony of the survivors of the Holocaust teaches us to “never be a spectator in the face of violence and hate”, since he met those who lived one of the darkest hours of humanity.

Charles visited the heart of the Jewish community of Krakow when commemorations began to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the old Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The Princess of Wales will join her husband to attend official commemorations for Mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

William and Kate will present their respects in a service in London on the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation on Monday.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to attend and talk in the service, along with the faith and civic leaders and survivors of the Holocaust and the most recent genocides.

Both the Prince and the Princess, then the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge, attended a service that marked the 75th anniversary in 2020, while Kate also took photographs of survivors of the Holocaust in the Kensington Palace.

Kate, 43, made a surprise return to public appearances earlier this month when he thanked the medical teams at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where he received his treatment against cancer.

He later said that it was “a relief now in remission” and that he was “waiting for a satisfactory year.”
