Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate were led by two Jewish survivors on a visit to the World War II Nazi German concentration camp of Stutthof on Tuesday, at the start of the second day of their trip to Poland.
The royal couple are on a goodwill trip to Poland and Germany that is aimed at underscoring Britain's intention to maintain friendly relations with the European Union after it leaves the bloc.
They flew to northern Poland in the morning from Warsaw, where and their children are staying at the Belvedere Palace.
At the Stutthof museum they were guided by two survivors of the camp, Manfred Goldberg and Zigi Shipper, both 87, from north London.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were shown discarded shoes, clothing and other personal items that were seized from the inmates on arrival at Stutthof. They were also shown the gas chamber where those too sick to work were killed. AGENCIES
