HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY IS IMPORTANT TO US ALL
David Cairns MP will be joining schools and churches throughout Inverclyde by taking time out to mark Britain’s eighth Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday 27th January. David has already signed the Book of Commitment, which was placed in the House of Commons so that Members of Parliament nationwide could pledge their support for the annual day of remembrance. The Book honours not only those who died, but those who risked their lives to save people from persecution.
