HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
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.
