"Mr President, I was astonished to read in a British newspaper that several hundred Nazi war criminals are living in the United Kingdom. They include 75 Auschwitz camp guards who escaped justice. I would remind the House that the Auschwitz-Birkenau death factory was the most horrifying of all the concentration camps. I am appalled by such reports, particularly since only 700 of the 8 000 camp guards, or less than 10%, were ever put on trial. Most of these trials were conducted in Poland. I would call on the Members of this House, on the British Government and on all people of conscience to remember the crimes that were committed, and not to turn their backs on the victims or take the side of the perpetrators of violence. It is an affront to the dignity of Europeans and entirely reprehensible that murderers from Auschwitz-Birkenau should meet with forbearance and leniency in one of the EU’s Member States. I would therefore call on the President of Parliament to take action as quickly as possible, and to ensure that the British Government is called to account on this matter."@en1
