Jane Dodds MS attends Holocaust memorial event in Cardiff Bay

THIS week, Mid and West Wales MS Jane Dodds attended a Holocaust memorial event in Cardiff Bay.

The event, which was held in the Pierhead building opposite the Senedd, saw a testimony from Holocaust survivor Eva Clarke.

A book of commitment was also made available for Senedd members to sign.

Commenting, Mid and West Wales MS Jane Dodds said:

“It was an honour to attend the Holocaust memorial event today in the Pierhead and hear Eva Clarke’s remarkable story.

It was so important that Eva could join us at this event and tell us all about both her and her mother’s harrowing tale of survival during one of humanity’s darkest moments.

Born in a coal train on route to Mauthausen concentration camp, both Eva and her mothers story offers a reminder of the strength of a mothers love in the face of evil.

It is so incredibly important that we continue to remember those lives lost during the Holocaust and other genocides, whilst also ensuring that these terrible acts of cruelty are never allowed to happen again.

We must continue to work tirelessly to protect the rights and freedoms of communities across our society and guard them from the tyranny that prejudice can bring.”
