International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.

Between 1940 and 1945 more than a million people were deported to Auschwitz, almost all of whom were murdered by the Nazis as part of their systemic attempt to destroy the Jewish people.

In total the holocaust claimed the lives of more than six million Jews and other peoples.

Today, as anti-Semitic attacks continue and appallingly increase, we must never forget the horrors of the holocaust.

Never again.
