The Government proposes to establish a national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre at Victoria Tower Gardens adjacent to the Houses of Parliament. The Learning Centre will provide facilities to host lectures and seminars and to run educational courses and workshops, working closely with the network of Holocaust Education partners in the UK and internationally.
