Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, Daniel Finkelstein’s case for the Holocaust memorial deserves respect (“This is the right way to recall the Holocaust”, Mar 5). Britain, however, was not a party to the Holocaust, and the only political party sympathetic to Nazism — the British Union of Fascists — had minuscule support in the 1930s, and almost none among educated people. That said, a recent a survey by the University Jewish Chaplaincy shows that 89 per cent of Jewish students have experienced antisemitism at university, with nearly half experiencing incidents at least once a month. Perhaps the best memorial to the Holocaust would be for government and vice-chancellors to ensure that antisemitism is eliminated in our universities. Sir Vernon BogdanorProfessor of government, KCL
