BOROUGH MP Andrew Miller signed a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons, making a pledge to ensure the victims of the Holocaust, and of all genocide, are never forgotten.
The pledge also called for the causes and consequences of the Holocaust to be understood by future generations.
Mr Miller said: 'The recent Holocaust Memorial Day provided a focus for each of us to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust.
'We must not only reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust and remember all the victims killed and persecuted by the Nazis but also challenge all types of prejudice and discrimination which continue in our society today.'
Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: 'We are delighted Mr Miller is supporting Holocaust Memorial Day.
'At a time when we still see groups and individuals questioning the validity of the Holocaust, Holocaust Memorial Day is more important than ever.'
January 27 marked the anniversary of the liberation in 1945 of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the infamous concentration and extermination camp.
This is the seventh year that the anniversary has been officially commemorated in the UK.
