Holocaust Remembrance Day event held in Czech Senate

“We have a common responsibility to protect the weak and fight against hatred in every form, every day,” Prime Minister Petr Fiala said at a commemorative gathering on Holocaust Remembrance Day held in the Czech Senate. The Speaker of the Senate Miloš Vystrčil said that the horrors of the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity must serve as a warning to us of how far hatred and indifference can lead. The commemorative ceremony in the upper house of Parliament was also addressed by Doris Broulová, a former prisoner of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi camp and chairwoman of the Czech Auschwitz Committee.
