Holocaust Memorial

A shortlist of designs for the proposed new National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre went on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum this week.

Ninety-two designers and architects worldwide submitted designs for the memorial, which will be built on ground next to Parliament and is scheduled to open in 2021.

The shortlist of 10 is on show for three weeks to the public at the V&A and comprises scale models of the designs, together with video testimonies from more than 100 British survivors, Kindertransporte refugees, and rescuers.
