HUMZA Yousaf could be seen wearing a small pink and purple badge during First Minister's Questions on Thursday.
As the First Minister faced MSPs, people across the chamber were spotted wearing the enamel pins.
The small badges are being worn to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, which takes place on Saturday.
The badge is in the shape of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust logo.
On the day, people around the world remember the millions murdered by the Nazi regime.
January 27 marks the important day as it is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was the biggest Nazi concentration camp.
The trust also encourages people to spend January 27 remembering other genocides – including those in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Holocaust Memorial Day is distinct from Yom HaShoah, a date in the Jewish calendar where those murdered in the Holocaust are mourned.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
