Beyond Duty Exhibition Launch

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

— On the 3rd of February I had the great honour of attending the Beyond Duty Exhibition Launch here in Parliament House. This exhibition paid tribute to the courage and humanitarianism of thirty-four diplomats, who have been designated as Righteous Among the Nations for their roles in saving 200,000 Jews during the Holocaust. Organised by the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Israel, the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies and the Embassy of Israel, the display presented photos of the diplomats and their incredible efforts in saving thousands of Jews. I was incredibly moved in learning about the tremendous acts of goodwill, which no doubt changed the lives of many. I would like to thank Vic Alhadeff, Chief Executive Officer of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies, for his invitation to this event.
