hands of nazi soldiers, world leaders and holocaust survivors are gathering today at the camp outside krakownd, to commemorate the devastating genocide orchestrated by adolf hitler that killed more than 6 million people during world war ii. the majority of those murdered in the holocaust were jews, but the nazis also targeted poles. the roma, gays and soviet prisoners of war. as the world observes, this milestone anniversary, one of the few remaining survivors of auschwitz is working to share the terrible story of the holocaust with the next generation. aisha suarez has more. >> what i'm about to tell you now, i had absolutely no knowledge of myself. >> for the. >> last 13 years. >> jackie young. >> has been. >> taking teenagers. >> beyond the. >> history books. >> the war had been on already two over two years. >> educating them about the holocaust. >> by retelling. >> his harrowing story as a. >> baby sent to a nazi. >> concentration camp. >> how and why i survived two years, eight months as a nine month old baby. i still do not know. >> it was 1945 when jackie arrived in the uk on a briti

terrifying days on a train that brought helen and so many other jews to auschwitz, 35 miles west of krakowwas a key component of hitler's plan to wipe out the jews of occupied europe. of the 6 million jews murdered in the holocaust, more than 1 million were killed at auschwitz and at neighboring birkenau. they arrived almost daily by train, but this time the train carries pilgrims, not prisoners. thousands of jews from all over the world. this train is carrying everyone to auschwitz, along the same rail lines that the nazis used during the war. being here, one can't help imagine what it must have been like 60 years ago. the chaos and confusion, as so many jews, not knowing where they were going, were herded onto cattle cars. >> alejo's one hour long salaam. >> 60 years later, their grandchildren take a very different journey to auschwitz and to many other historic sites across poland. the bay area group making this journey stopped at schindler's gate, the entrance to the factory where oskar schindler put thousands of jews to work, sparing their lives. it's marked with a plaque which reads

as you say, the king is currently in krakow at the jewish the king is currently in krakow at thejewishg is currently in krakow at the jewish community centre there, meeting some of those who use the centre and he was involved in the creation of that said to himself. he came to krakow in 2002, met some of the localjewish community and they told him they didn't have a place to go to socially connect and he helped to drive forward the creation of that centre that was opened in 2008. he has a personal connection to where he is now in krakow. when we talked to his team at buckingham palace in recent days, what struck me is just how personal the language they are using about this was. they are using about this was. they are saying the king views this as a deeply personal pilgrimage, that it is a profound and poignant moment for him to be here on the ground at auschwitz, the first british monarch to visit here and here the testimony of survivors who were here in this camp suffering during the second world war with what happened here. and he wanted to be here to hear the testimony on the groun

earlier today he was in krakow, visiting the local jewish community here.the centre which he actually opens when he was last in krakow in 2008. and he spoke, of course, of the horrors of auschwitz, but also about its liberation 80 years ago today. take a listen. >> the liberation of auschwitz is both a sombre and indeed a sacred moment. it is a moment when we recall the 6 million jews, old and young, who were systematically murdered. >> well, meanwhile, back in london, the prince and princess of wales was leading the country in commemorating the 6 million jews who lost their lives during the holocaust. and they met a number of survivors in london at the guildhall, the prime minister, keir starmer, and deputy prime minister angela rayner accompanied them. and as well as other people in london, the princess of wales even hugging a member of the community there. and prince william delivered a very powerful speech saying it was a great honour to meet a number of holocaust survivors in london. here's what he said. >> i'm honoured to join you today to mark holoca

on my panel tonight is broadcaster and columnist esther krakow, commentator alex armstrong and journalistathan lis. oh, and yeah, huge earthquake in nepal, sadly leaving at least 95 people dead. meanwhile, here in britain, well, trains are cancelled because unions tell their drivers not to walk through a bit of snow. get ready britain, here we go. guns, knives and rapes. is anywhere safe anymore? next. >> patrick. thank you. the top story is a 14 year old boy has been stabbed to death on a bus in woolwich in south—east london. the metropolitan police says an investigation has now been launched. the incident occurred on a route 472 bus on woolwich church road. a police statement says paramedics treated him but the boy died shortly after paramedics arrived onto the scene. superintendent louise sergeant said the alarm was initially raised by a local police officer out on patrol. no arrests have yet been made, but they're appealing for witnesses to come forward. in other news, jess phillips says she has more important things to be thinking about than elon musk after he accused her of being a

we are, of course, joined by journalist and broadcaster esther krakow.lso got political commentator alex armstrong and former labour minister bill rammell, who i think is going to have his work cut out tonight. esther sadiq khan, a knighthood for failure. >> well, just in principle, i don't agree with giving sitting politicians a knighthood. it's inherently political, and i think it's the last thing that the labour party needs. i mean, at the moment the country just looks at the labour party as if you're one of their client groups, if you're a unionist, or if you're a union or if you're a train driver, you're fine. but if you're everything else, you're not. and i don't think this is a good look for the labour party in particular. i think if any one else, if any other politician, particularly a conservative politician, had sadiq khan's track record on london. s&p, every other party out there would be shouting it from the rooftops about how much of a failure he's been. this is not a political issue. it's the reality. as a woman, i personally don't travel a
