HOLOCAUST Memorial Day on January 27, provided a time for everyone to learn lessons and apply them to the present day to create a safer, better future.

In early January, the Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg, became the first party leader to announce he would ensure that any government, including the Liberal Democrats, would safeguard the funding for the 'Lessons from Auschwitz' project and described the work as being “worth every penny”.

I am proud that the Liberal Democrats have taken these steps to ensure its memory is safeguarded for our youth through this fund.
