Holocaust memorial project boosted by £1.5m from Government
The race to ensure the memory of the Holocaust is kept alive for future generations has been boosted by £1.5m funding from the Government.
A £1.1m cash injection will enable testimony to be taken from survivors whose experiences have not yet been recorded, including an emergency drive to reach the most elderly survivors and liberators before the summer, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles announced yesterday.
The first Government funding for the Holocaust Centre in Nottingham will also enable it to complete a state-of-the-art project where 10 survivors are recorded answering 900 questions, enabling interactive engagement with their testimony for decades to come.
