United Kingdom - Lord Janner of Braunstone

I am honored to thank Yad Vashem for its great work. I do so on behalf of my Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, who has had to return to our Parliament.

I do so on behalf of the British people, who at one time so bravely stood alone against the Nazis.

And I do so, in memory of my own slaughtered family. The Nazis murdered every one of my relatives in Lithuania and in Latvia – not one survived.

On behalf of them all – thank you – a groisseh dank – todah rabba.

This is the shortest speech in the history of the Jewish people – and thank you for the honor of presenting it.
