PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
National Holocaust Memorial Centre and Learning Service (6 January 2021)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of how the proposed Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in central London will help tackle anti-Semitism elsewhere in the country.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

Answer

In light of Holocaust denial, revisionism, the rise of antisemitism and indifference, it is more important than ever to ensure that the story of what happened during the Holocaust resonates with ordinary people and raises questions about Britain’s role at the time. The Memorial and Learning Centre will act as a national hub for commemoration and education, partnering with established organisations in the sector, so that it complements, signposts and amplifies existing educational resources.
