The Book of Commitment gives MPs the opportunity to remember those who were persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust - and to support a ‘Legacy of Hope’, learning from Survivors’ experiences to help create a future free from hatred and prejudice.
On and around Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of events are being held across the country to commemorate all those who suffered at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust and in subsequent genocides. This year is the ninth year that Holocaust Memorial Day has been commemorated in the UK.
Emily said:
“We have a duty to pass on the lessons of the Holocaust to future generations. Holocaust Memorial Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of Holocaust survivors, to commemorate the millions who died under Hitler’s regime and to commit to a future free from racism and discrimination.”
Karen Pollock, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust said:
“We are delighted that Emily is supporting Holocaust Memorial Day. Remembering and learning about the Holocaust is more important now than ever before. This year’s theme, ‘The Legacy of Hope’ highlights the important role young people have to play in taking the Survivors’ mantle forward and educating their peers about the Holocaust."
