The UK’s National Holocaust Memorial and learning centre will stand in the shadow of Parliament, at the heart of their democracy, in Victoria Tower Gardens. This striking new structure will honour victims and survivors of Nazi persecution. It will also educate future generations about the dangers of prejudice and hatred, and serve as a powerful statement of their values as a nation.

United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial International Design Competition

The international design competition launched by the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation in September 2016 sought to identify the very best architectural talent to create an emotionally powerful and sensitively designed memorial. Ninety-two teams entered the competition, with a shortlist of ten invited to submit concept designs. These designs are being displayed publicly at a number of venues across the UK, as well as online.

Consultation with the public, those working in the field of Holocaust remembrance and education, as well as technical experts, will play a crucial role in informing the final decision of the Jury. You are invited to submit your feedback to the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation here.
