Talk:Ilse Weber

Mention of Wiegala in Lords Hansard (UK)
Hi everyone, I noticed that Ilse Weber was mentioned by the labour life peer, Lord Winston, on 30th January 2020 during a debate on gene editing in the UK Parliament's House of Lords. (https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2020-01-30/debates/637E3108-D287-445B-8460-4B739A24CCF8/LordsChamber#contribution-3323373A-6669-49FB-A3F8-DDF4CAD6F60B) "Lord Winston said: 'I have to say that we were criticised, in this House as well as elsewhere, when we produced the first pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and it was said that we were undertaking eugenics. If you go to YouTube, you ​can hear a recording of Anne Sofie von Otter singing “Wiegala”, a lullaby that includes the words “Schlaf mein Kindelein”—sleep, my child. It was sung by its composer, Ilse Weber, as she entered the gas chamber at Auschwitz carrying her child. She wanted to comfort the child, who was frightened, and she died in that gas chamber. We know that this happened, because there were eyewitnesses, and we have the score of the poem she wrote. That is eugenics, because her only fault was that she was Jewish—a 41 year-old woman with two children. There was nothing else and the science was misused (...)'" I am proposing the following Hansard citation to be added, perhaps immediately after the first reference - to relate to the work Wiegala: {{blockquote|text={{cite hansard |jurisdiction=Parliament of the United Kingdom |title=Gene Editing |url=https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2020-01-30/debates/637E3108-D287-445B-8460-4B739A24CCF8/LordsChamber#contribution-3323373A-6669-49FB-A3F8-DDF4CAD6F60B |house=House of Lords |date=30 January 2020 |volume=801 |column_start=1529 |column_end=1531 |speaker=Lord Winston |position=Labour Peer}}} However, this reference might be more suitable as an external link? Any help will greatly appreciated fellow wiki-editors. Thank you. SpookiePuppy (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
