Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Holocaust Memorial Day.


Holocaust Memorial Day

I am grateful to my hon. Friend because he has made an important point, particularly in the wake of the recent troubles in Gaza and southern Israel. There has been a real upsurge in anti-Semitic attacks in my constituency and borough, and more widely. The Community Security Trust recorded more than 150 attacks, the highest number since it started keeping details. That is a very serious matter. Does my hon. Friend think that those responsible for those attacks could learn a lot if they studied what had happened during the holocaust?
