Vol. 1017 No. 1

Minute's Silence for Victims of the Holocaust

I remind Members that today, 27 January, marks 77 years since the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, where more than 1 million people, mainly Jews, Poles, Romani and Soviet prisoners of war were murdered. They were victims of Nazism. The United Nations General Assembly has designated today as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. To mark this day and to demonstrate that we here have not forgotten, and that decent people will never forget, I ask Members to rise and, in solidarity with many national parliaments across Europe, share a minute of silent reflection.

Members rose.

We remember them.
