More than 150 parliament members in the United Kingdom from across the political spectrum have signed a lettersupporting the Westminster Holocaust memorial, remarking that it would “stand as a testimony” to combating bigotry.
The National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre is slated to be built in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster.
The museum comes amid a rise in anti-Semitism in the United Kingdom, in part fomented by Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has an extensive anti-Semitic record.
Existing Holocaust memorials and resources include the Beth Shalom Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire; the Imperial War Museum Holocaust Exhibition in London; the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide in London; the Hyde Park Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park, London; and the memorial at the Church of St. Michael the Greater in Stamford.
