The series offering members of the public the chance to have their say.

Research shows there is still much ignorance about the fate of the Jews during the Second World War. The Nazi regime represented an assault not only on the Jews but also on anyone who did not fit the Nazis' racial blueprint. In the US there are over 100 Holocaust museums and research centres. In Britain, despite our unique role in defeating Nazism, there is none.
Dr David Cesarani asks whether, at a time when racism, intolerance and fascism are again on the rise, we can afford not to have a Holocaust museum in Britain.
