It is well-known that Kate Middleton is passionate about photography. The Duchess has now unveiled her most recent photography project in which she took very moving portraits of two Holocaust survivors and their families in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust.
The stunning portraits feature two Holocaust survivors: Steven Frank with his two granddaughters Maggie and Trixie and Yvonne Bernstein with her granddaughter Chloe.

The Duchess expressed in her caption, "I wanted to make the portraits deeply personal to Yvonne and Steven – a celebration of family and the life that they have built since they both arrived in Britain in the 1940s. The families brought items of personal significance with them which are included in the photographs."
The pictures Kate took will be part of a new exhibition opening later this year by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, Jewish News and The Royal Photographic Society. The exhibition is set to feature 75 images of Holocaust survivors and their families.
Kate Middleton: "two of the most life-affirming people"
Duchess Catherine quoted to People, "The harrowing atrocities of the Holocaust, which were caused by the most unthinkable evil, will forever lay heavy in our hearts. Yet it is so often through the most unimaginable adversity that the most remarkable people flourish. Despite unbelievable trauma at the start of their lives, Yvonne Bernstein and Steven Frank are two of the most life-affirming people that I have had the privilege to meet."
