Many thanks to Holocaust Educational Trust (UK) who have set up a Book of Commitment at Westminster this week, which I have contributed to on behalf of East Renfrewshire constituents.
Thanks also to East Renfrewshire Council and Renfrewshire Council who together organised an incredibly powerful online memorial event this evening, where we heard an extraordinary account of how the holocaust impacted a local family, how modern day genocides are still happening, and some very wise words from Rabbi Ruben. It was also very moving to hear such lovely musical contributions from local schools. This event is still available on Facebook or Youtube on ERC pages, and you may wish to look for yourself.
We all have a responsibility to remember what happened and to speak out against Anti Semitism, hatred and prejudice wherever it lies.
