London, U.K. – Queen Camilla delivered a poignant message during a Holocaust remembrance event in London on Tuesday, urging attendees to reflect on the atrocities of the past and ensure the lessons of history are never forgotten. Speaking to survivors, families, and dignitaries, the Queen emphasized the importance of remembrance in fostering understanding and preventing future tragedies.

A Commitment to Remembrance

“Your courage and resilience inspire us all,” she said, addressing the survivors. “You are the living witnesses to history, and your testimony is a powerful reminder of the need for tolerance and compassion.”
Highlighting the Importance of Education
The Queen also underscored the role of education in combating antisemitism and hate in all its forms. She called on educators, policymakers, and communities to work together in creating a world where such atrocities are never repeated.
“Education is the key to fostering understanding and empathy,” she noted. “By teaching future generations about the Holocaust, we can build a more compassionate and inclusive society.”
Honouring the Victims
The ceremony included the lighting of six candles to honour the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. Survivors shared their personal stories, offering powerful reminders of the consequences of hatred and prejudice.
One survivor, now in their 90s, reflected on the importance of remembrance: “We share our stories not for pity, but to ensure that the world never forgets.”
Looking Ahead
