Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 June 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

I ask noble Lords to think about this. If we are really going to have something which is just a memorial and not take the opportunity at the same time to educate people, what a huge wasted opportunity that will be. It is not about my generation; we understand it. We know that antisemitism is a continuing problem. We know from polling that, unfortunately, some parts of our population still contain significant numbers of Holocaust deniers. Another significant proportion believe that 9/11 was part of a Jewish conspiracy. Do not think that this is a dead issue; it is alive.
