In the summer of 1945 three hundred Jewish children, who'd survived the Nazi Holocaust, came to Windermere to live again and build a new life. Known locally as the Windermere Boys, a museum, and memorial, is planned near the site where the children lived at Calgarth Park at Troutbeck Bridge.The Lake District was a beacon of hope for war damaged children, and keeping alive for future generations their inspirational story of surviving antisemitism, is central to the work of Trevor Avery, the Director of the Lake District Holocaust Project.
