Anders Pihlblad, host at Swedish TV4's News morning, interviewed Crown Princess Victoria after the ceremony. The interview was shown at the News morning today.
Victoria says at the video:
– It is so incredibly incomprehensible to try to take in all the evil and everything that has happened in this place. At the same time, I feel how infinitely important it is to be here and perhaps especially today, to also be able to make this manifestation together with all other countries that we support and we stand side by side in this incredibly important issue.
She also speaks about the importance of honoring the memory of the victims and remembering their fate that must not be forgotten. To also remind us of what humans are capable of. It is nice for her on a personal level to feel that she is doing something, as she otherwise feels quite small and inadequate in this.
– To be able to come here and shed light on these incredibly important questions that we must not forget in the world we live in, in the times we live in, we must not forget these questions.

As there were now only 50 survivors at the ceremony (ten years ago 300), who are the witnesses of this evil, we have to listen their stories and tell their stories further, so that the stories will never die. Victoria said at the interview that people should take their children to a concentration camp, so it will be interesting to see when Victoria and Daniel visit a camp with their children.
