Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, attended a special tea party at St. James's Palace in Westminister on Tuesday in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport.

The Kindertransport was an organized evacuation of nearly 10,000 predominately Jewish children from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland to the United Kingdom in the nine months before the outbreak of the Second World War.

Prince Charles, who celebrated his 70th birthday last week, drank tea and listened to stories from Jewish refugees who had arrived in the U.K. on the Kindertransport.

Renate Collins, who arrived from Prague, said, "My mother put me on the train and that was it, I never saw her again, and I lost 64 members of my family in the Holocaust. I was adopted in Wales and apart from losing all the family, I've had a good life."
