HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

Early day motion 482, tabled 12 January 2005 by John Lyons (Labour). Signed by 190 members.

That this House notes Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January, which is the 60th anniversary of the day that the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated; recognises the significance of this year and the importance of all commemorations taking place in 2005; acknowledges the importance of the theme Survivors, Liberation and Rebuilding lives; remembers all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and other more recent tragedies; further recognises the contribution that Holocaust Survivors have made to life in Britain; applauds organisations such as the Holocaust Educational Trust for their work; 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.
