EAST?Hampshire MP Damian Hinds has pledged his support for Holocaust Memorial Day by signing the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment.

“It is shocking to think about the scale of human suffering endured during the Holocaust and this memorial day is an important opportunity for people across East Hampshire and the rest of the country to reflect on those tragic events,” he said.

Racism and hate crime had not gone away and the theme for this year – Don’t Stand By – was a reminder of people’s responsibilities.
