The motion
That this House notes that Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January 2004, which is the anniversary of the day the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated; recognises the importance of this year's theme, 'From the Holocaust through to Rwanda': remembers all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and other more recent tragedies; thanks the city of Belfast for hosting the national event; commends organisations such as the Holocaust Educational Trust for their work towards this day; and encourages all honourable Members to be involved in a day that not only helps to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten but also warns of the dangers of all forms of discrimination today.
