Prince Harry Urged to Visit Auschwitz
By James Wray Jan 13, 2005, 19:16 GMT
Jewish leaders have demanded British royal Prince Harry visit theconcentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland - following his controversial decision to wear a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party at the weekend.
Critics were outraged by the heir's gaffe and want him to join a group
visiting the site later this month, to mark the 60th anniversary of
the liberation of Auschwitz.
Rabbi Marvin HierR, dean of the American-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, says, "This was a shameful act displaying insensitivity for the victims, not just for those soldiers of his own country who gave their lives to defeat Nazism but to the victims of the Holocaust.
"We strongly urge Prince Harry to accompany the British delegation on 27th January to the Auschwitz death camp to commemorate 60 years since liberation. There he will see the results of the hated symbol he sofoolishly and brazenly chose to wear."
