(Eastwood)
(Con): I note that the Prince of Wales
is today joining world leaders who are gathering in Israel to
commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the
Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, survivors of which continue to live
happily among us in Scotland. We will mark the occasion with a
debate next week. Scotland will remember and always stand in memory
of those who perished, in order that we can prevent any such horror
happening again.
The First Minister ():
: First, I take the opportunity to associate myself
with the remarks of about the 75th anniversary of
the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The anniversary is very much
in the thoughts of us all at this time. The horror of what was
experienced there is beyond our imaginations and, as we prepare to
mark the anniversary in our own way here in Scotland next week, we
must all be determined to play our part in ensuring that a horror
of that nature and on that scale can never be allowed to happen
again.
(Central Scotland) (Lab): I
associate the Scottish with the remarks about the
importance of commemorating the liberation of Auschwitz, and about
ensuring that we all accept that it is the duty of us all never to
forget the holocaust—not just for this generation, but for
future generations to come.
(North East Fife)
(LD): We must remember, so that we can learn,
so that those awful events are never repeated: holocaust memorial day is indeed so
important.
