King Charles III has announced a new Holocaust memorial will be built in London. The bill for the new national Holocaust memorial was sponsored by the Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities, led by Michael Gove. The construction of the memorial has relied on Victorian-era laws being overturned so that the site may be placed in Victoria Tower Gardens, next to the Palace of Westminster.

Quote: “A [British] government spokesman said, according to the Jewish Chronicle, that the memorial will serve as a ‘powerful reminder to the whole of society of the unique evils of the Holocaust, and [a reminder of] its victims. The government has always understood the importance of Holocaust memorial and has supported a National Holocaust Memorial Day since it was established. The memorial will honor the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered, and other victims of Nazi persecution.’ ”
