A new exhibition is examining the "complex and unsettling" question of what Britain knew about the Holocaust as it was happening, according to The Guardian, as plans move forward for a permanent national memorial.
The exhibition draws on historical reporting and witness testimony to argue that news of the atrocity reached Britain earlier than is commonly understood, the report said. It was viewed privately by members of Parliament at Portcullis House, on the Westminster parliamentary estate, in September, ahead of a wider national tour.
The Guardian's report frames the exhibition as part of a broader reassessment of Britain's historical response to the Holocaust, though it does not detail every specific finding of the underlying research.
Plans for a new permanent memorial in London are separately underway, according to the report, though further details of its design, location or timeline were not included in the available reporting.
