BBC Two's drama The Windermere Children will show the hard struggles children faced after World War Two and heartbreaking scenes as they had no homes to return to, no family and no food
Emaciated, alone and traumatised by unimaginable horrors, the 305 Jewish orphans who arrived at Lake Windermere at the end of the Second World War had nothing.
Their families were all dead, they had no homes to return to and years of malnutrition had taken its toll.
Some feared they were beyond fixing. But after four months in beautiful Windermere with food, beds and plenty of outdoor activities, they had something they had never had before. Hope.
For these young survivors of the Nazi camps, the experience in the Lake District was nothing short of finding themselves in paradise.
