The visit is marking 80 years since the liberation of the former German Nazi concentration camp on January 27, 1945. It will be The King’s fifth to Poland - the more recent of which include a 2008 trip with Queen Camilla and in 2010 as part of a wider European tour to Hungary and the Czech Republic.
