Mr. Speaker, last night, the National Holocaust Monument was vandalized. Are there no limits? The monument commemorates not only the six million murdered Jewish women, men and children but the millions of other victims of Nazism and its collaborators during the Second World War. More than that, the National Holocaust Monument is a statement for today. It is an ever-living declaration by right-minded people for tolerance, for understanding, for respect for all peoples.
The depraved soul who defaced the monument should give their head a shake, reconnect with their humanity, appreciate our common history and rejoin the better angels of our natures to build a better world so that we never again need to erect another Holocaust monument.
