Today on Holocaust Memorial Day we remember both the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and the terrible attempt to wipe out Europe’s Jewish population.

At the same time we must learn from these atrocities and continue to challenge all forms of hate and prejudice as it only leads to one place.

On Friday, I attended Wolverhampton’s Holocaust Memorial Service. I then went over to Dudley and had the honour of hearing from an 89 year old Holocaust survivor. His words will stay with me forever. He ended the speech by encouraging us all to challenge all forms of racism and hate.
