While Frank Foley received a CMG for his service as a diplomat, and has been recognised as ‘Righteous The Government believes that it is entirely right to recognise the contribution of those British citizens who showed extraordinary acts of courage during the Second World War in helping many Jews and other persecuted groups to escape from the evils of the holocaust. During his visit to Auschwitz in April this year, the Prime Minister was very proud to announce a new award of recognition for the extraordinary acts of courage for these courageous people. The Prime Minister said: ‘We will create national awards in Britain for those British citizens who helped so many people, Jewish and other citizens, during the Holocaust period’. ‘Their families and the Holocaust Educational Trust have been campaigning to bring these British Holocaust heroes to public attention and I am delighted that we will be able to honour their sacrifice and service in this way.’ Discussions have taken place across Government to examine a number of options, and we have concluded that there is a way forward, outside the Honours System. The Department of Communities and Local Government will discuss the precise nature of the award with the Holocaust Educational Trust and other interested parties, and seek the views of the families in considering the best way forward to create this national award.
