Alan Campbell MP for Tynemouth Community Commitment Common Sense
Speaking on Holocaust Memorial Day, Tynemouth MP Alan Campbell said “Today – 27 January – we remember six million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust, millions of lives taken away under Nazi persecution of other groups (Roma and Sinti people, black people, gay people, mentally and physically disabled people); and we commemorate the genocides that took place after the Holocaust: in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
At 8pm tonight people across the UK will be lighting candles in their windows to remember those who were murdered for who they were and to stand against prejudice and hatred in the world today.”
The UK 2022 Holocaust Memorial Day Ceremony will be broadcast online on Thursday 27 January 7-8pm
