Watford’s MP marked Holocaust Memorial Day this week by signing the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment in the House of Commons.

The 69th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, will take place on Monday, January 27.

Richard Harrington MP went to the House of Commons to mark the day and said: "Holocaust Memorial Day marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau - and is an important opportunity to remember the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. I encourage all constituents to mark the day and to join members of my community in the fight against prejudice and intolerance."

Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, added: "We are proud that Richard is supporting Holocaust Memorial Day. It is vitally important that we both continue to remember and learn from the appalling events of the Holocaust."
