The National Holocaust Centre and Museum, previously known as Beth Shalom (lit.
"House of Peace", is a Holocaust memorial centre near Laxton in Nottinghamshire in England.
[1] The Centre was founded by brothers James and Stephen Smith following a 1991 visit to Israel during which a trip to Yad Vashem changed the way they looked at history and the Holocaust.
[5] Prince Harry was educated about the Holocaust at the Centre after he was criticised for wearing a Nazi armband as part of an Afrika Korps costume to a fancy dress party.
[6] On 21 July 2010, almost twenty years after the Holocaust Centre was founded, James and Stephen Smith and their mother Marina were each awarded honorary degrees of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) by Nottingham Trent University.
