Prime Minister Boris Johnson marked Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, in an article in the Jewish News today.
In his piece, Prime Minister Johnson paid tribute to Shoah survivors who still work tirelessly to educate.
He promised to British Jews: “As long as I am Prime Minister, I will never allow this country to forget what happened 75 years ago. I will do all I can to see that we continue to learn the lessons of the past”.
The Prime Minister underlined: “The government I lead will stand with you and fight alongside you so that the darkest of nights is never again allowed to fall upon the Jews of the world. We owe those incredible survivors
nothing less”.
Paying tribute Holocaust survivors, Prime Minister Johnson wrote: “Having witnessed the absolute worst of humanity, they could be forgiven for spending the past 75 years doing everything possible to forget what they experienced. But instead they have dedicated their lives to remembering”.
He said: “We as a nation must always mark Holocaust Memorial Day. And why I, as Prime Minister, am absolutely committed to building the National Holocaust Memorial and Education Centre right in the heart of Westminster”.
