"The specter of a murderous European dictator is cast across our continent once more," said Holocaust survivor and March of the Living participant Eve Kugler. Here is her speech.
Four Holocaust survivors and about 80 participants Jews and non-Jews, aged 19 to 90 visited Berlin, Wannsee, Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen, the latter to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation by British forces.
Bake Off host Matt Lucas said he received an “extraordinary glimpse into the power of the human spirit” after meeting a survivor of the Holocaust.
The TV presenter was joined by snooker champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, journalist Robert Peston, businesswoman Karren Brady and Love Island star Eyal Booker for a series of films with education charity March of the Living UK.
They each met with a Holocaust survivor and heard moving accounts of their experiences of one of humanity’s gravest atrocities.
