Of the memorial, she said: “It’s so important too, that it’s here in the shadow of Parliament, in the heart of our democracy, because we must never forget that the road to the Holocaust began in a democracy, and that memorial must be the constant reminder of what happens when our democratic values and traditions fail, and also to show us how democracies remember and learn from the past because to build a better future means, when never again means never again, we must continue to listen to the survivors’ stories, which, with every passing year become so much more precious.”
