Yesterday in Parliament, Lucy signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment, pledging commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day and honouring those who were murdered during the Holocaust as well as paying tribute to the extraordinary Holocaust survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people today.
This year marked 77 years since the liberation of the concentration camps of Europe and the end of the Second World War. Yesterday on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, people across the globe remembered those who lost their lives in such a terrible way.
After signing the Book of Commitment, Lucy Allan MP said:
“Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity for people from across the UK to reflect on the darkest times of European history. As the Holocaust moves from living history, to history, it becomes ever more important that we take the time to remember the six million Jewish victims and also pay tribute to the survivors.”
