Prince William And Kate Middleton Honour The Six Million Jews Murdered By The Nazis

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Boris Johnson have joined Holocaust survivors in London to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Kate looked resplendent in a grey round neck skater dress, cinched in at the waist with a belt, as she walked into Central Hall in Westminster with Prince William holding her umbrella to keep off the rain. 

A commemorative service, run by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, is remembering victims and survivors of Nazi persecution as well as subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.  William will read an extract from a letter written by a friend of his great-grandmother Princess Alice - famed for saving a Jewish family from the Holocaust - about her good deeds. 

The royal couple will light candles in memory of those killed in genocides and will then meet survivors following the ceremony at Central Hall in Westminster. Boris Johnson also addressed the hall and said he felt 'a deep sense of shame' that anti-Semitism continues today and vowed to do everything in his power to stamp out the poison.
