The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre is looking to set up a Holocaust study centre in Glasgow.

The group will apply to the Heritage Lottery Fund and appeal to the Scottish community for funds for the centre.

The move comes after the group completed a feasibility study, funded by a grant from the Scottish government.

A spokesman for the centre said: “Based on our research, the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre has found there is a distinct demand and requirement for a Scottish Holocaust-era study centre.

“There are clear and unique benefits for Scotland in education, research, community activity and tourism to be derived from this project.”
