King Charles and Queen Camilla have paid tribute to Auschwitz survivor Eva Schloss, who sadly died aged 96. Ms Schloss, who was the step-sister of Anne Frank, passed away on Saturday, January 3, having dedicated her life to remembering and raising awareness of the horror of the Holocaust.
Alongside her books and talks, Ms Schloss carried out her work through the Anne Frank Trust, which she co-founded and of which Queen Camilla is Patron. In a message released by Buckingham Palace on January 4, the King shared his sorrow for the passing of Ms Schloss.
The monarch, who danced with Ms Schloss while visiting a Jewish community centre in north London in 2022, said he and the Queen had “admired her deeply”.
His statement read: “My wife and I are greatly saddened to hear of the death of Eva Schloss.
“The horrors that she endured as a young woman are impossible to comprehend and yet she devoted the rest of her life to overcoming hatred and prejudice, promoting kindness, courage, understanding and resilience through her tireless work for the Anne Frank Trust UK and for Holocaust education across the world.
“We are both privileged and proud to have known her and we admired her deeply. May her memory be a blessing to us all.
“Charles R.”
