Lanarkshire MP honours six million killed by Nazi regime on Holocaust Memorial Day

East Kilbride's MP has pledged her commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day honouring the millions killed by the Nazi regime.

Lisa Cameron signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment and paid tribute to the extraordinary Holocaust survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people today.

This year marks 77 years since the liberation of the concentration camps of Europe and the end of the Second World War.

On January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, people across the globe will remember the atrocities.

In the lead up to and on Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of commemorative events will be arranged by schools, faith groups and community organisations across the country, remembering all the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.

The theme for this year’s commemorations is ‘One Day’.

Ms Cameron said: “Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity to reflect on the darkest times of European history.

"As the Holocaust moves from living history, to history, it becomes ever more important that we take the time to remember the six million Jewish victims and also pay tribute to the survivors.”
