Miliband: Parents’ Flight From Nazis Taught Me Politics Matter

Ed Miliband, leader of the U.K.’s opposition Labour Party, said this week’s Holocaust memorials were a reminder of why politics matters.

Speaking to journalists at the annual Westminster Correspondents Dinner in the House of Commons in London late Thursday, Miliband said a visit last year to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust commemoration center in Jerusalem, allowed him to learn about how his own grandfather had died.
