UK Holocaust Memorial

Writing In today’s @Daily_Express on #HolocaustMemorialDay why the need for a standalone centre of Holocaust remembrance and education in the UK has become ever more urgent. To forget the millions who died is to submit them to a second death. Never forget #HMD2026

On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust. With fewer survivors able to share their testimony, our duty to remember, educate and stand against hatred becomes ever more vital.

CST welcomes the announcement that the Holocaust Memorial Bill has received Royal Assent, marking an important step towards the creation of a national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre at the heart of British democracy. This is a significant moment for Holocaust remembrance of those who were murdered in the Holocaust and for educating future generations about where hatred can lead. At a time when antisemitism, Holocaust denial and distortion are on the rise, the Memorial and Learning Centre will play a vital role in education.

The Fed's My Voice project welcomes today’s landmark announcement that the construction of the new Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in Victoria Tower Gardens can now move forward, following the passing of the Holocaust Memorial Bill. This vital step - made possible after the Bill received Royal Assent - removes long‑standing legal barriers and clears the way for a national memorial at the heart of our democracy. Located beside Parliament, the new Memorial and Learning Centre will ensure that Holocaust remembrance and education take centre stage in our capital - honouring the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and preserving their stories for future generations. It stands as a powerful commitment to confronting hatred and ensuring the lessons of the past are never forgotten. As an organisation dedicated to ensuring that the stories of Holocaust Survivors are widely shared and used to enhance Holocaust education across the country The Fed and My Voice is proud to see the UK take this historic step toward safeguarding memory, deepening understanding and strengthening our national dedication to “never again.” @mhclg @Christian4BuryS @FED_Manchester @JewishMCR

Our Holocaust Memorial Act has now received Royal Assent. At a time when we must stand firm against antisemitism, we're now closer to preserving the legacy of survivors and ensuring future generations can learn the lessons of history. A proud moment for everyone who supported this vital project.

A momentous and truly cross-party effort - congratulations to everyone who has made this possible - and so we move forward

The Holocaust Memorial Bill has received Royal Assent. The bill will help enable the delivery of a Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, providing a space for remembrance, learning and reflection.

As we approach Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the words of those who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. Listen to the late Leslie Kleinman remember the day he arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau and how he was separated from his family, never to see them again.

Today’s horrific terrorist attack in Bondi beach is deeply shocking. Antisemitism has no place in our society. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community, today and every day.

Wishing a very happy #Diwali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights 🪔🕯️

Today marks two years since October 7th 2023 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering over 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and abducting 251, 48 remain in captivity. We remember all those murdered and pray for the hostages to be released in the coming days.

Today we mark two years since the horrifying attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7th 2023. Time does not diminish the evil we saw that day. The worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The brutal, cold blooded torture and murder of Jews in their own homes. And the taking of hostages, including British citizens, some of whom remain in Gaza today. Since that awful day, so many have endured a living nightmare. When I spoke with some of the families of the British hostages, I promised them in person that we will not cease in our efforts to bring their loved ones home. But back here in the UK, our Jewish communities have also endured rising antisemitism on our streets, in our country. And last week, a horrifying terrorist attack on the holy day of Yom Kippur in Manchester. This is a stain on who we are, and this country will always stand tall and united against those who wish harm and hatred upon Jewish communities. Our priority in the Middle East remains the same – release the hostages. Surge aid into Gaza. And a ceasefire that can lead to a lasting and just peace as a step towards a Two-State solution. A safe and secure Israel, alongside a viable Palestinian state. We welcome the US initiative towards peace in the Middle East, and this government will do everything in our power to bring about the day where every child of Israel can live peacefully, alongside their Palestinian neighbours, in safety and security.

This was a vile terrorist attack that attacked Jews, because they are Jews. Antisemitism is a hatred that is rising, once again. Britain must defeat it, once again. To every Jewish person in this country: I promise that I will do everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve.

Wishing everyone celebrating #RoshHashanah, a happy and sweet New Year. Shana Tova! 🍯🍎
