Following the antisemitic stabbing of two Jewish people on the streets of Golders Green this morning, words of condemnation are no longer sufficient. This must be a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community, every leader, and every decent person in our country. This is a hatred that we must face down together.
I am appalled by recent attempted antisemitic arson attacks in North London.
This is abhorrent and it will not be tolerated. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.
We are increasing visible policing and those responsible will be found and brought to justice. We will not rest in the pursuit of perpetrators.
Last night yet another synagogue, this time in Kenton, was targeted in a cowardly arson attack. It follows the attack in Finchley on Wednesday and the attempted attack on what was the Jewish Futures building in Hendon on Friday night, making three Jewish sites attacked in London in less than a week.
A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum. This sustained attack on our community’s ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together. Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society.
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews who were killed, and we acknowledge the deep grief and anguish that remembrance brings for Jewish communities today.
I know this comes at a time of profound anxiety. Conflicts overseas, pressures at home, and uncertainty about the future weigh heavily – compounded by a troubling rise in antisemitic attacks and terrorist plots targeting Jewish communities across the country.
My government will always act decisively to protect Jewish communities and to stamp out antisemitism wherever it appears. We will not hesitate, and we will not look away.
Remembrance must come with responsibility – to honour the past, to protect the present, and to ensure that ‘never again’ is not just a promise, but a duty we uphold.
Writing In today’s @Daily_Express on #HolocaustMemorialDay why the need for a standalone centre of Holocaust remembrance and education in the UK has become ever more urgent. To forget the millions who died is to submit them to a second death. Never forget #HMD2026
On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust.
With fewer survivors able to share their testimony, our duty to remember, educate and stand against hatred becomes ever more vital.
CST welcomes the announcement that the Holocaust Memorial Bill has received Royal Assent, marking an important step towards the creation of a national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre at the heart of British democracy.
This is a significant moment for Holocaust remembrance of those who were murdered in the Holocaust and for educating future generations about where hatred can lead.
At a time when antisemitism, Holocaust denial and distortion are on the rise, the Memorial and Learning Centre will play a vital role in education.
The Fed's My Voice project welcomes today’s landmark announcement that the construction of the new Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in Victoria Tower Gardens can now move forward, following the passing of the Holocaust Memorial Bill.
This vital step - made possible after the Bill received Royal Assent - removes long‑standing legal barriers and clears the way for a national memorial at the heart of our democracy.
Located beside Parliament, the new Memorial and Learning Centre will ensure that Holocaust remembrance and education take centre stage in our capital - honouring the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and preserving their stories for future generations. It stands as a powerful commitment to confronting hatred and ensuring the lessons of the past are never forgotten.
As an organisation dedicated to ensuring that the stories of Holocaust Survivors are widely shared and used to enhance Holocaust education across the country The Fed and My Voice is proud to see the UK take this historic step toward safeguarding memory, deepening understanding and strengthening our national dedication to “never again.”

Our Holocaust Memorial Act has now received Royal Assent. At a time when we must stand firm against antisemitism, we're now closer to preserving the legacy of survivors and ensuring future generations can learn the lessons of history. A proud moment for everyone who supported this vital project.
The Holocaust Memorial Bill has received Royal Assent. The bill will help enable the delivery of a Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, providing a space for remembrance, learning and reflection.
Today the Holocaust Memorial Bill has received Royal Assent.
This marks a significant moment in the journey to create a national memorial to the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust Memorial Bill has returned to the House of Commons for the Consideration of Lords Amendments. You can watch the debate here: https://t.co/ZMTy094Fym - House of Commons
As we approach Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the words of those who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. Listen to the late Leslie Kleinman remember the day he arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau and how he was separated from his family, never to see them again.
Today’s horrific terrorist attack in Bondi beach is deeply shocking.
Antisemitism has no place in our society. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community, today and every day.
