Britain’s Prince Charles visited Camden Town to honour Kindertransport.
The 65-year-old royal arrived at the Roundhouse in Camden Town, London on Sunday (09.11.14) to watch a very special concert of ‘The Last Train To Tomorrow’ which honours the rescue mission known as Kindertransport, which saved thousands of Jewish children from Germany before the start of the Second World War in 1939.
The live choral performance – composed by Carl Davis – was arranged by the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) to co-incide with the 76th anniversary of Kristallnatcht.
Michael Newman, a spokesman for the AJR, told the Camden New Journal: "Prince Charles wanted to come along as he has a great personal affection for the refugees who came on the Kindertransport. He was very happy to meet the Kinder, who are all quite elderly now.
"From the quick conversation I had with him, he thought it was a moving occasion."
Despite the serious tone of the evening, one guest decided to lighten the mood by giving Prince Charles a mini oven and a recipe book.
Last year, the royal marked the 75th anniversary of the Kindertransport with a reception at St. James’ Palace alongside the evacuees who had been saved by the mission.
