Many years too late the Foreign Office now has a plaque honouring those diplomats who in the 1930s bent the rules to save people - mainly Jews - from the Nazis. The details are set out in Sir Martin Gilbert's remarkable pamphlet. It is an unusual honour but right. Meeting the relatives of the diplomats and the descendants of the people they saved was very moving as they introduced themselves in the Locarno room (so named after ill fated inter war treaties). My speech is available here.
