The first academic institute in Britain to deal solely with antisemitism, only the second in Europe, is to be set up in London, funded by £1.5 million from the Pears Foundation.
The new institute will occupy a building on the campus at Birkbeck College, part of the University of London, and will be next to the proposed new home of the Wiener Library, the world’s oldest Holocaust memorial institution, which will offer its resources to the project.
The Wiener expects to exchange contracts in the next few weeks and hopes to open its new home in spring 2011.
