Local Assembly Member Paul Davies recently took part in a Holocaust Memorial Day event at Haverfordwest. Throughout his keynote speech on ‘Keeping the Memory Alive’, which is also the theme of Holocaust Memorial Day, Mr Davies talked about remembrance not just being about the past, but about the future too.

Mr Davies said, “I was honoured to be invited to the Holocaust Memorial event and to talk about some of the challenges that are still being faced in Britain today. It is important for all of us to remember those who were persecuted and to honour those who survived, especially as this year, it’s seventy years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, and it’s also the twentieth anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia. As a society, we have a responsibility to promote an equal society, where no one is judged or victimized because of their background or ethnicity. We, therefore, must all work together to help promote an equal and inclusive Pembrokeshire, Wales and United Kingdom.”
