Lord Young of Norwood Green (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 January 2026

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Day

Contribution

I am sorry. I will endeavour to keep my remarks short. I did not realise that I had to put my name down. Anyway, when I was 15 years old, I came across a book, The Scourge of the Swastika, which, ironically, was written by the grandfather of the noble Lord, Lord Russell of Liverpool. That taught me a lot about what goes on. Bearing the mind the strictures that I have to keep my remarks limited, I will do. I think this is a really important debate. I thank the people who have made contributions about needing to do more to ensure that antisemitism remains something that we fight against. I will leave it at that.
