Her Royal Highness last week (Tuesday 19th January) discussed with those on the call the importance of remembering the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, and of championing younger generations to ensure that the stories of survivors continue to be shared into the future. During the call, Zigi Shipper and Manfred Goldberg spoke to The Duchess about their experiences and memories of the Holocaust, and of its prevailing impact, with many survivors still suffering from nightmares as a result of the horrors they experienced. As young boys, Zigi and Manfred both spent time in ghettos and a number of labour and concentration camps, including Stutthof near Danzig (now Gdansk) where they met for the first time in 1944. Built in 1939, Stutthof was the first camp to be built outside German borders and was one of the last camps liberated by the Allies in May 1945. Of the 110,000 men, women and children who were imprisoned in the camp during the Holocaust, as many as 65,000 lost their lives - including 28,000 Jews. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge previously met Zigi and Manfred during their visit to Stutthof in 2017. Alongside other survivors, Zigi and Manfred frequently share their testimonies with young people around the country through the Holocaust Educational Trusts Outreach Programme, helping to educate younger generations about the Holocaust by putting a human face to its history. Established in 1988, the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) works in schools, universities and local communities in order to educate young people from all backgrounds about the Holocaust and the vital lessons learnt from this period of history. *** No UK Rights Until 28 Days from Picture Shot Date ***/AdMedia
