The Prime Minister’s Commission on the Holocaust is a
national, cross-party commission that has been established to investigate
whether further measures should be taken to ensure Britain has a permanent and
fitting memorial and meaningful educational resources for generations to come.
“Many organisations and individuals have worked tirelessly
to ensure the memory of the Holocaust remains alive and its lessons continue to
resonate today. Survivors have played a crucial role by sharing their
testimony. But we will not always have survivors with us and as there is a
danger that, as the events of the Holocaust become ever more distant, they will
feel increasingly remote to current and future generations.
The Commission is asking for written evidence. From this
evidence, two expert groups focussing on education and commemoration will
review current provision and identify gaps and opportunities for the future.
The Commission will report its findings to the Prime
Minister by the end of 2014.”
