National Holocaust Memorial Centre and Learning Service

Question for Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

UIN HL8725, tabled on 22 June 2023

To ask His Majesty's Government for what reasons they support the commemoration of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime against people of Jewish origin and others in Victoria Tower Gardens, to the exclusion of other genocides and other available sites.

Answered on

Victoria Tower Gardens was chosen as the most fitting site in terms of its historical, emotional, and political significance and its ability to offer the greatest potential impact and visibility for the project. The planned Holocaust Memorial will commemorate the six million Jewish people and all victims of Nazi persecution, and the accompanying learning centre will address subsequent genocides.
