SIMON WIESENTHAL AND ANTI-SEMITISM

Motion Text

That this House congratulates Simon Wiesenthal on being awarded a knighthood by Her Majesty the Queen; pays tribute to his lifetime of dedication to the cause of bringing justice to the merciless Nazi perpetrators of the Holocaust; notes the crucial work of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in preserving the memory of the Holocaust and fostering tolerance and understanding, ideals that are more relevant than ever in the present climate of rising anti-Semitism across Europe; and therefore urges the Government to work closely with its European partners to stamp out Judeophobia and all forms of racism wherever they occur.
