Holocaust Memorial Day
This week in Westminster I joined a number of my colleagues in signing a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons. This is the second year I have done so, as I believe it is so important to continue to honour those who died during the tragedy of the Holocaust.
Next Friday marks the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and the Holocaust Education Trust placed the book in the Commons to give MPs the chance to honour those who were persecuted and killed.
The Holocaust Educational Trust also seeks to encourage people to take a stand against racism and prejudice in our society today, and to speak out against hatred. History has provided us with some chilling lessons for modern life; I welcome the Holocaust Educational Trust's teachings on this extremely important matter.
