Are we forgetting the Holocaust?

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp. More than a million people - mostly Jews - were murdered at the camp, with some six million Jews in total systematically killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust between 1941 and 1945.

The King today became the first British monarch to set foot on the site as he joined the commemorations on Holocaust Memorial Day, and Kamal and Camilla spoke to Royal Editor Hannah Furness for the latest from his trip.

They also spoke to Gideon Falter from the Campaign Against Antisemitism, with antisemitic attacks reaching a record high in the UK since war in Gaza began, and half of all British Jews having considered leaving the country.

Plus, The Daily Telegraph’s legendary interviewer Mick Brown was in the studio to talk through his interview with the equally legendary Dame Joanna Lumley.
