PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson has signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment in the Commons. The book honours those who died during the Holocaust, as well as honouring the extraordinary survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people about what they endured. Monday will mark the 69th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Mr Stephenson said: “Holocaust Memorial Day marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, which I visited with local college students in 2012. “I encourage all Pendle residents to mark the day and to join members of my community in the fight against prejudice and intolerance.”
