The events that King Charles will attend in Poland will mark the anniversary of the liberation of the camp by the Soviet army in January 1945.
According to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, the commemoration will begin in a tent erected over the gate to the camp. A symbolic freight carriage will stand in front of the gate to remember the many victims who had arrived there in cattle cars.
About 7,000 prisoners were in the camp when it was liberated, says the Auschwitz museum. There had been 1.1 million people, mostly Jewish, killed there.
The focus of commemorations will be on those remaining elderly Auschwitz survivors – but it is expected that international leaders and heads of state will attend on what is also Holocaust Memorial Day.
King Charles will meet Polish President Andrzej Duda during his visit.
The King has had a long-standing commitment to building bridges between different faith groups – and has spoken out against religious intolerance and extremism.
He has supported efforts to remember the Holocaust – including in 2022 commissioning portraits of seven Holocaust survivors, including Mr Goldberg, in a tribute to the passing generation.
