Queen Camilla Commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day with an Appeal to 'Always Remember'

During an event leading up to Holocaust Memorial Day, Queen Camilla emphasizes the significance of remembering the Holocaust and addressing contemporary prejudice.

On Thursday, Queen Camilla gave a speech in observance of Holocaust Memorial Day, encouraging the audience to ponder the importance of the phrase 'Never forget.' Her address precedes the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, which will be honored on January 27. King Charles is set to attend the event in Poland, where he will join other world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial.

The camp, created by Nazi Germany, led to the deaths of more than 1.1 million individuals, primarily Jews.

Queen Camilla, a patron of the Anne Frank Trust UK, underscored the enduring significance of Anne Frank's life and death in combatting prejudice.

She stressed the vital role of Holocaust remembrance, especially amid rising anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and racism.

Camilla urged people to act and speak out against injustice, highlighting the need for a collective commitment to a brighter, more tolerant future.

The Anne Frank Trust UK, which focuses on educating young people about discrimination, organized the event at a hotel in London.

The Queen's comments reflect increasing concerns about global intolerance, with Holocaust education seen as essential in tackling these issues.

Earlier this month, King Charles met with Holocaust education groups to prepare for his forthcoming visit to Poland.
