The Windermere Children — United Kingdom
Three hundred child Holocaust survivors arrive at Lake Windermere in 1945 — many too traumatised to speak, most having lost their entire families — and begin the slow process of recovery.
In August 1945, 300 Jewish child survivors from the Nazi camps were flown to Windermere under a scheme organised by Leonard Montefiore and the Jewish Committee for Relief Abroad. Most were orphans from Theresienstadt. Known as 'The Windermere Children', many later became prominent figures in their communities. The group's story was virtually unknown until the 2020 film.
