SNP mark Holocaust Memorial Day 

The SNP will mark Holocaust Memorial Day today (Thursday, 26 January), warning against growing intolerance across the world.
 
Leading for the SNP in the House of Commons, Kirsten Oswald MP will highlight the importance of hearing the voices of Holocaust survivors to ensure their testimony is preserved for future generations to learn from.
 
Holocaust Memorial Day is a day to remember the millions of Jews, Roma, Sinti and other people murdered under Nazi persecution, and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.
 
Commenting, Kirsten Oswald MP said:

“We all have a responsibility to stand up against antisemitism, intolerance, and hatred in all its forms, to make sure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never repeated.
 
“I have heard the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, and know how vital it is that their voices are preserved to ensuring future generations can hear the reality of what happened, and learn the lessons of the past.
 
“I am grateful to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust and Holocaust Educational Trust who work so hard to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust continue to be shared and that the voices of survivors are central.”
