"are not enough words to describe the shiver of horror that the human heart experiences under the arches of the memorial." This has been pronounced the Prince of Asturias after touring with Letizia Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, where he paid an emotional tribute to the six million victims of Nazism in his first visit to Israel.
After being welcomed this morning with full honors by the President of Israel, Simon Peres, the Prince toured the museum, where Don Felipe was covered with a kippah to enter the Hall of Remembrance and stoked the perpetual flame that lights the room. The Princes also laid a wreath on the stone covering the ashes of the victims, collected in the six extermination camps of the Holocaust.
