King Charles to Become First British Monarch to Visit Auschwitz on 80th Liberation Anniversary

The King will lead global commemorations on Holocaust Memorial Day, continuing his lifelong commitment to Holocaust education and remembrance.

King Charles will visit Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland on January 27, marking the 80th anniversary of its liberation during Holocaust Memorial Day observances.
This visit will make him the first British monarch to travel to the former Nazi death camp, joining international leaders for a remembrance ceremony.
The King, a patron of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, has long championed Holocaust education and recently hosted a related event at Buckingham Palace.
During the event, the King interacted with Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg and demonstrated support for initiatives like AI-powered survivor testimonies and the '80 Candles for 80 Years' project.
The visit comes as King Charles continues treatment for an undisclosed cancer, with palace sources describing his condition as 'managed' and progressing positively.
