Last week I signed the Holocaust Memorial Day Book of Commitment in the House of Commons.
Sunday 27th January will mark the 68th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration and extermination camp which is the site of the largest mass murder in history. The Holocaust Educational Trust has placed a Book of Commitment in the Commons, giving MPs the chance to honour those who were persecuted and killed during the Holocaust and to encourage constituents to work together to combat racism and prejudice today.
In the weeks surrounding Holocaust Memorial Day thousands of commemorative events will be held by schools, faith groups and community organisations across the country.
Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity to remember the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. I encourage all constituents to mark the day and to join members of the community in the fight against prejudice and intolerance.
