Zelensky, King Charles Attend Auschwitz Liberation Event

King Charles and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were among the prominent figures attending the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau liberation in Poland. King Charles received widespread support for his historic visit, being the first British monarch to visit Auschwitz, where he paid tribute to Holocaust victims. Zelensky, of Jewish heritage, also emphasized the importance of Holocaust remembrance, asserting that threats to freedom and life persist globally. His visit included meetings with European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President António Costa. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's potential attendance raised legal concerns in Poland due to an ICC arrest warrant. Zelensky's commitment to Holocaust remembrance is evident through his previous visits to Babi Yar, highlighting Ukraine's role in promoting Holocaust education despite historical challenges.
