Telford MP, Lucy Allan has pledged her commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day by signing the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment in Westminster.
Holocaust Memorial Day is a way of honouring all those that perished in the Holocaust and the extraordinary survivors that continue to educate people about the horrors of the genocide to this day.
After signing the book, Lucy said: “It is important to remember the tragedy that was the Holocaust and I was proud to sign the Trust’s Book of Commitment as Telford’s MP. I encourage everyone in Telford to take a moment today to remember the victims and survivors of this atrocity, and others, and stand up to intolerance and prejudice.”
Holocaust Memorial Day is marked on the 27th January – the anniversary of when Allied forces in World War Two liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and death camp.
The theme for this year’s Memorial Day is ‘Don’t Stand By’.
