A newly-elected member of the Dutch Parliament has apologized for remarks in a media interview in which he described Jews exterminated during the Nazi Holocaust as having gone to “the gas chambers like meek little lambs.”
Dutch Senator Toine Beukering — a former brigadier general in the Dutch military who took up his seat in the upper house of the parliament this week — made the comment in an interview with the De Telegraaf newspaper published last Saturday.
Beukering is a representative of the right-wing nationalist FvD party, which scored a major political victory in provincial elections last March when it became the largest party in the Senate.
Beukering told the newspaper that as “a young child, I read a whole cabinet of books about the Holocaust.”

Asked when he will release his plan, Romney indicated he is seeking to gain support from his colleagues first.
