UK Government Plans National Holocaust Memorial in London – Museums & Heritage News
The UK government has announced plans to build a national Holocaust memorial next to the Houses of Parliament. This project, initially proposed in 2015, aims to provide a permanent site for Holocaust education. Legal challenges delayed progress, but a new bill introduced in 2023 will allow the project to move forward. Designed by Adjaye Associates, the memorial has garnered support from Jewish groups and government officials. Despite controversies surrounding David Adjaye, the architect behind the project, the commitment to building the memorial remains strong. This initiative symbolizes a unified effort to combat antisemitism and ensure that the atrocities of the past are never forgotten.
