HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

Early day motion 298, tabled 16 December 2003 by John Lyons (Labour). Signed by 142 members.

That this House notes that Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January 2004, which is the anniversary of the day the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated; recognises the importance of this year's theme, 'From the Holocaust through to Rwanda': remembers all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and other more recent tragedies; thanks the city of Belfast for hosting the national event; commends organisations such as the Holocaust Educational Trust for their work towards this day; and encourages all honourable Members to be involved in a day that not only helps to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten but also warns of the dangers of all forms of discrimination today.
