World leaders attend ceremony marking 80th Anniv of Auschwitz liberation

Britain's King Charles III is given a tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau on the 80th anniversary of the Nazi concentration camps liberation and laid a wreath in memory of the victims. International Holocaust Remembrance Day "is both a sombre and indeed a sacred moment," King Charles said at the Jewish community center in Krakow, Poland.

Auschwitz was the largest of the extermination camps built by Nazi Germany and has become a symbol of the Holocaust of six million European Jews. One million Jews and more than 100,000 non-Jews died at the site between 1940 and 1945. King Charles III and French President Macron and dozens of other international leaders attended the commemoration.
