Auschwitz survivors will address the invited guests who are expected to include President Macron of France, the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz and the Dutch and Spanish king and queen. Survivors will place a light in front of a freight train carriage — a symbol of the event — and the King with other heads of state and government will lay lights in memory of those who died during the Holocaust. After the ceremony, Charles will walk through the gates to view personal items confiscated from victims when they entered the camp and lay a wreath at a reconstruction of the Death Wall, the site where several thousand people, mainly Polish political prisoners, were executed.
