King to visit Auschwitz to mark 80th anniversary of Nazi camp’s liberation - Charles will lay a wreath at a reconstruction of the Death Wall.

Silence pervades the site of Auschwitz-Birkenau today. Sometimes the only sounds are the soft footsteps of visitors, people who come from all over the world to mourn and to learn, and the voices of their guides speaking in hushed tones into microphones trying to explain the ungraspable.

Officials say the commemorative event marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation could be the last of its kind.
