Prince meets Holocaust survivor on memorial trip

Prince Harry met a Holocaust survivor yesterday as he made a private pilgrimage to Berlin's moving memorial dedicated to all Jews murdered by the Nazi regime.

He chatted to an elderly woman who now acts as a living testament to the horrors of the Second World War and teaches children about her experiences.

The 26-year-old outraged Jews worldwide in 2005 when he was photographed at a fancy dress party wearing a swastika armband and a badge of the German Wehrmacht, or defence force, on his collar.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a striking modern monument made up of 2,711 "concrete stelae" designed by architect Peter Eisenman and arranged in a grid pattern that visitors can walk through.

Harry also visited the last remaining section of the infamous Berlin Wall that contains the central "death strip".

And on the last day of his two-day trip to Berlin, Harry visited the world-famous Brandenburg Gate.

The late 18th-century monument was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a symbol of peace.
