William, 37, and Kate, 38, attended the U.K. Holocaust Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony in Westminster, England. The event, which marked its 75th anniversary on Monday, honors the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
“During the ceremony, The Duke read an extract from a letter written about his great-grandmother, Princess Alice, which described how she helped hide her Jewish friends, the Cohens, in her home,” Kensington Palace revealed in an Instagram post on Monday. “During the service, 75 candles of remembrance were lit to represent the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust. After the ceremony, the duke and duchess spoke to Holocaust survivors, and survivors of genocides which have happened since.”........CONTINUE READING
