Actress Helena Bonham Carter appointed to Holocaust Commission

Britain must build a lasting memorial to the Holocaust to avoid the “real danger” of the mass killing of the Jews being forgotten by future generations, the Prime Minister said.
Actress Helena Bonham Carter, broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis are among those chosen to sit on a Commission on the Holocaust tasked with looking at what more should be done to establish a permanent memorial.

Bonham Carter says of her new challenge, “I am very honoured to be asked to join this commission and do so in particular memory of those members of my family who died in the Holocaust and as an inherited responsibility to my grandfather who made a significant personal sacrifice to save hundreds of lives.

“It is our generations’ legacy to create a living memory that will survive the survivors and forever remind future generations of the inhumanity man is capable of committing to its own kind.”

Bonham Carter’s grandfather was a Spanish diplomat, based in France, who facilitated the escape of hundreds of Jews from the country during the Nazi occupation between 1940 and 1944.
