The Duchess spoke with holocaust survivors Zigi Shipper and Manfred Goldberg, who The Duke and Duchess met at Stutthof in 2017. The Duchess discussed the importance of remembering the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, and of championing younger generations to ensure that the stories of survivors continue to be shared into the future.

Kate looked elegant in a grey rib knit sweater and black trousers.
Kate debuted a grey ribbed knit sweater and accessorized with her Simone Rocha Faux-Pearl Curb-Chain Earrings, and a new disc pendant necklace.

I believe the top may be the Alexander McQueen fine ribbed knit top (Was $851 - now $553).  Kate's top has the same variation in the rib direction.

She accessorized with her Simone Rocha Faux-Pearl Curb-Chain Earrings, and a solitary pendant necklace. It appears to be the same one she wore for last week's video call with nurses in North Yorkshire.

We've had a couple of suggestions for the necklace.  @TashaS1973 proposes the pendant may be a Whitby Jet gemstone from North Yorkshire.  Whitby Jet has a historical connection to the royal family.  When Price Albert died in 1861, Queen Victoria took to wearing Whitby Jet jewellery in remembrance of him, quickly making it the etiquette to accessorise the period's mourning dress with jewellery made from the gemstone.  Below is a close match from W.Hamond - "The original Whitby Jet shop":

@LadyParky79 suggests it may be the Astley Clarke Pendant Necklace featuring a round table-cut semi-precious gemstone.

ID UPDATE (10 Feb 2021):  Based on better quality images from a video chat The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had with nursing students on Tuesday 9th February, we can clearly see the necklace is a match for the Astley Clarke Round Stilla Lapis Lazuli Pendant Necklace (£160).

This is a lovely, simple but elegant look. The rib knit sweater is so nice, the color is perfect, it suits the Duchess really well. The pieces of jewellery she choose I love. Gorgeous pearl chain earrings and subtle necklace, glorious.

I agree..she looks elegant and understated here. I love that top...I wish it wasn’t so expensive!! I am so glad she did this and wish leaders in the US also did this type of remembrance or any type of remembrance for that matter.

I think the necklace could be the kindred round pendant in black onyx by Merci Maman
