ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVELATION OF THE FINAL SOLUTION

That this House acknowledges that 17th December 1992 is the 50th Anniversary of the Allied Declaration which revealed Hitler's Final Solution to a shocked House of Commons; recalls that Mr Eden, the Foreign Secretary, reported that Jews were being transported in conditions of appalling brutality to Eastern Europe, that Poland had been made 'the principal Nazi slaughterhouse', that none of those taken away were ever heard of again, that there had been deliberate massacre and mass executions, that the number of victims of 'these bloody cruelties' was to be numbered in many hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent men, women and children; recalls that Britain together with other European governments condemned 'this bestial policy of cold-blooded extermination' in the strongest possible terms; notes that the statement was followed by the whole House spontaneously standing in silence; and resolves that never again should mankind permit such horrors to occur.
