We live in a world that we don't see
00:06
And we're dying and we ought to survive
00:13
Hundreds of people from Bury St Edmunds and across West Suffolk gathered at the historic Abbey Gardens today for Holocaust Memorial Day,
00:20
80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
00:24
In 1190, there was a massacre of more than 50 Jews in Bury St Edmunds
00:31
and subsequently the Jewish population was expelled.
00:34
And here am I, a thousand years later, not only the first Labour MP, but the first Jewish MP for Bury St Edmunds.
00:41
It feels like history has come full circle.
00:43
I think it's important that we remember the Holocaust
00:47
and as the numbers of individuals who have living memory of this fade,
00:52
we must make sure that the collective memory in humanity is preserved.
01:04
I think it's very important that no one ever forgets the Holocaust
01:08
and everything that the Jewish people and other minorities went through
01:13
because they are beyond comprehension.
01:16
And I think so many years have passed and that sometimes people do forget
01:20
and we must, as we heard today, we must never ever forget.
01:25
The event was a chance to remember those who have died in genocides not only in World War II, but from across the world.
01:35
It's difficult to overstate the importance of these gatherings
01:39
because unless we remember history and learn from history, then history is repeated.
01:46
And the Holocaust, the terrible destruction of Jewish people during the Second World War
01:51
was sort of history changing events, which is beyond description.
01:57
And to learn as the human family, we need to hold these events to honour people who died,
02:04
to remember and then to commit ourselves to challenging injustice and challenging prejudice.
02:10
So let us not be silent until our lives are worthy of their memory.
02:15
Al domi, al domi lanu, edei yiyu chayeno feruyim lezikharam.
