Conservative MP Mike Penning has paid tribute to those who died during the Holocaust by signing the Book of Commitment in the House of Commons.
Holocaust Memorial Day, which marks the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, falls on Friday, January 27.
To commemorate the date, the Holocaust Educational Trust placed a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons.
By signing the book, MPs such as Hemel Hempstead representative Mr Penning were given the chance to honour those persecuted and killed, and encourage people to speak out against prejudice and bigotry.
