Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake pledged his commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day by signing a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons.

Mr Brake said: "Holocaust is one of the darkest chapters in our history.

"Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity to honour those whose lives have been destroyed by genocide.

β€œIt is a time of reflection on the lessons learnt from the Holocaust and on the importance of the fight against ignorance and hatred.”

Residents are invited to mark this anniversary at 10.30am on Sunday, January 27, in the Europa Gallery in Sutton Central Library.
