MPs have observed a one-minute silence in the House of Commons to mark the 80th anniversary of the declaration on the persecution of the Jews. The declaration is described by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust as the first public announcement by the British government on the Nazis’ attempt to murder Europe’s Jewish population. The declaration took place on December 17, 1942, and reports from the time say that in response, MPs rose spontaneously and stood for a moment in silence.
