Recent UK visits to Yad Vashem

In May members of the Phillips family from London came to tour Yad Vashem’s new exhibition, My Homeland. The exhibition was supported by the Phillips family through a gift from the Phillips and Rubens Charitable Trust.

On 23 January the Yad Vashem UK Foundation launched their ‘Guardian of the Memory’ campaign in the House of Commons. In attendance were (L-R) Rabbi Barry Marcus, Jacques Weisser, David Metzler, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Hazel Blears, MP Andrew Dismore, Linda Patterson and Jeffrey Pinnick, Chairman of the Yad Vashem UK Foundation.

On April 19, 2007 Yad Vashem honored Steve and Philip Morelle with a dedication ceremony and unveiling of plaques at the Square of Hope and the Memorial Cave. The Morelle family are Supporters of the Holocaust History Museum.

In a very moving visit to Yad Vashem, Brian, Sam, Stella and Irit Anderson came to the Memorial Cave on Yom Hashoah to light candles next to the memorial plaque they dedicated in memory of their family members who perished in the Holocaust.
