英国正在筹建一座永久性大屠杀纪念馆，同时推出巡回展览来直面这段历史：英国政府对纳粹大屠杀的了解远早于战争结束。1 研究表明，英国早在1942年——大屠杀受害者数量最多的一年——就通过报纸、广播和政府档案获悉相关信息。1 其中《曼彻斯特卫报》的报道最为广泛，曾敦促英国和盟国政府采取更多行动。1 波兰流亡政府驻伦敦据点也通过传信员向外走私了包括死亡营地位置在内的大屠杀信息。1
然而，公众认知与历史事实存在显著落差。1 根据2021年Claims Conference的调查，仅有21%的英国公众知道英国政府早在1941年就意识到了对犹太人的大规模谋杀。1 这个新展览计划在北爱尔兰议会（10月30日至11月13日）、苏格兰议会（12月7日至10日）和卡迪夫（2027年1月16日至2月4日）巡展。1 英国大屠杀纪念馆和学习中心将设在伦敦威斯敏斯特的维多利亚塔花园，相关的《大屠杀纪念法案2026》已于今年获得皇家同意。1 英国在1938年《水晶之夜》大屠杀后开始放宽政策，允许犹太儿童难民无需签证进入。1
Britain acquired knowledge of the Holocaust far earlier than commonly believed, learning of the systematic persecution of Jews through newspapers, radio broadcasts, and government records during World War II.1 In 1942, the year when Holocaust victims reached their highest numbers, British newspapers and the BBC both carried reports on the atrocities.1 The Manchester Guardian provided the most extensive coverage of the Holocaust, urging the British government and its allies to take stronger action.1 Information about the genocide, including details of death camp locations, was smuggled into Britain by the Polish government-in-exile based in London through couriers.1
A 2021 survey by the Claims Conference found that only 21 percent of the British public was aware that the British government had recognized the mass murder of Jews as early as 1941.1 To address this historical gap in public understanding, a new permanent Holocaust memorial and learning center is being established in Victoria Tower Gardens at Westminster, with the Holocaust Memorial Bill 2026 receiving royal assent this year.1 An accompanying exhibition will tour Parliament locations across the United Kingdom, including the Northern Ireland Assembly from October 30 to November 13, the Scottish Parliament from December 7 to 10, and Cardiff from January 16 to February 4, 2027.1 Following the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom, Britain had already begun relaxing entry restrictions for Jewish child refugees, allowing them to enter without visas.1
