Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said:
“This year’s theme for Holocaust Memorial Day is ‘Don’t Stand By’, and we pledge today, together with the thousands of people we work with across the country to always stand up against those who would seek to deny, distort or simply even forget the Holocaust. As the eyewitnesses become fewer and frailer and less able to share their story, we use this opportunity today to reassure them: we will never allow the Holocaust to be forgotten.”
