The Windermere Chidren - sobbing

[PermanentTemporary]

Unbearable documentary but I guess it should be hopeful. 300 child survivors of concentration camps, brought as refugees to a rehabilitation camp in the Lake District in 1945.

I think this is the thread

I’ve met Arek, he lives in Leeds now. I went on a trip to Auschwitz with him nearly 20 years ago

I saw that in the listings and I would never have guessed that was what it was about. It read like it was about some completely random bunch of kids formed a bond by virtue of living around Windermere.

When I was at school he came to talk about the Holocaust

(in Leeds)

Watched this last year and again the other night

So sad but so uplifting to hear their stories

Judge Rinder's grandfather was a Windermere boy
