Proceeding contribution from Gordon Banks (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 for the opportunity to contribute to this important debate. We all know the history of the holocaust, and it is a shame that we do not all believe it. The crisis in Europe between 1914 and 1945 is a subject that has interested me all my adult life. Fully understanding the effects of world war one and the treaty of Versailles on the German nation is, I believe, fundamental to understanding—if it is possible to understand—how Hitler rose to power in Germany.
