The commission’s report recommended that an endowment fund be established to secure the future of Holocaust education. I am confident that such a fund can be established, drawing on the generosity and commitment of people from all sections of society who wish to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten. The project to establish the memorial and learning centre has received a commitment from Sir Gerald Ronson that charitable donations of £25 million will be obtained. Of course, fundraising to support the memorial and its learning centre can begin in earnest only when there is a clear route to construction, with all the necessary permissions in place.
