In a statement, Yad Vashem Chairman Avner Shalev praised Prince Charles for his planned attendance at the anniversary of the 75th year since the liberation of Auschwitz, saying:
"The presence of the Prince of Wales at this significant event sends a decisive message that HRH Prince Charles believes firmly that antisemitism has no place in our post-Holocaust society, whether in the UK or elsewhere. At Yad Vashem we know that this requires prioritizing Holocaust education as a way to confront the challenges of contemporary antisemitism and Holocaust distortion. Yad Vashem is dedicated to raising awareness of the danger of what can happen when antisemitism goes unchecked."
