William read an extract from a letter written by a friend of his great-grandmother Princess Alice - famed for saving a Jewish family from the Holocaust - about her good deeds.
The royal couple also lit candles in memory of those killed during Hitler's reign of terror in Europe, as well as genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, before meeting survivors.
The Cambridges helped survivors light six candles on stage, which were among 75 that shone to mark the 75 years passed since Auschwitz was liberated.
