Angus MacNeil MP signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment this week to pledge his support for Holocaust Memorial Day.

 

He also pledged to honour those who were murdered during the Holocaust as well as paying tribute to the extraordinary Holocaust survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people.

 

Holocaust Memorial Day this week marked the liberation of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, the site of the largest mass murder in history.

 

In the weeks leading up to Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of commemorative events have taken place, remembering all the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.

 

Karen Pollock, chief executive of the trust, said: “We are proud that Angus MacNeil is supporting Holocaust Memorial Day.

 

"As we mark the 71st anniversary of the end of the Holocaust and the liberation of the concentration camps, it is vitally important that we both continue to remember and learn from the appalling events of the Holocaust – as well as ensuring that we continue to challenge antisemitism and all forms of bigotry.”
