Jews in odd places: Poland: The Prince of Wales recently paid tribute to the “incredible spirit” of an impoverished Jewish community which he visited in Poland last year.

Speaking at the World Jewish Relief annual dinner at Guildhall, London, Charles told of the terrible conditions he witnessed in Krakow in 2002 and how he was moved by the Jewish people’s “strength and optimism”.

Following the visit, the Prince made a substantial personal donation to a fund to set up a new community centre for the Jews in the city.
