Holocaust Memorial Day 2020
The motion
That the Parliament joins together in commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day 2020, which this year marks the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau; notes that the theme is Stand Together, which encourages everyone to come together in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust and the genocides that have subsequently taken place, including in Bosnia, Cambodia, Rwanda and Darfur; thanks West Lothian Council and the school pupils, teachers and members of the community who came together in a remembrance event in Livingston; notes the importance of such events in reminding the world of past atrocities so that people can try to ensure they can never again be repeated, and recognises that everyone should stand together on Holocaust Memorial Day, and throughout the year, to promote tolerance and respect in society in order to ensure that all can contribute to creating a better and prosperous future.
