- The Windermere Children airs at 9pm on BBC2 in the UK and will be available in iPlayer shortly after broadcast.
August, 1945. A coachload of children arrive at the Calgarth Estate by Lake Windermere. They are child survivors of the Nazi Holocaust that has devastated Europe’s Jewish population. Carrying only the clothes they wear and a few meagre possessions, they bear the emotional and physical scars of all they have suffered.
Charged with looking after them is Oscar Friedmann, a German-born child psychologist. He and his team of counsellors have just four months to help the children reclaim their lives. By the lake, in sunshine and rain the children eat, learn English, play football and ride bikes. They yearn for news of their loved ones every day, and meanwhile they are invited to express their trauma through painting. Some locals taunt them but they are embraced by others. A number of the older children steal and they are haunted by nightmares. Nevertheless, it is in this environment that they begin to heal.
Eventually, letters from The Red Cross arrive with the terrible confirmation that for nearly all the children their siblings and parents have been murdered. One child, however, is convinced that his brother survived.
The Windermere Children is the stark, moving and ultimately redemptive story of the bonds they make with one another, and of how the friendships forged at Windermere become a lifeline to a fruitful future. In the absence of relatives, they find family in each other.
i never cried this much in my life , thank you windermere for what you have done for this children, this is an academy award movie defineteley
This aired on PBS last night.
I found myself crying and smiling while watching this.
Heartbreaking for these poor children, to be the only survivors out of there families. Also dealing with their own nightmares.
Beautifully filmed. It touched my heart.

I have often wondered how these people picked up there lives after this awful experience. It's good to know that they were able to go forward with their lives, and love again. I am glad to hear your reply. Thank you.
Yes, a great watch - there are few programmes or TV films that almost bring me to tears, but this did - it was a very sad story of course, but very moving, well acted and one of those 'quality' watches that feels like it has enriched your knowledge of history.
It's crazy that some of them became really successful in life, an mbe, knighthood, an olympian, etc. It makes makes you think what the others could have achieved if they survived.
We live 2 hours drive from Windermere, such a beautiful place to come to after being imprisoned in such horrific conditions and what they witnessed
Dont be in any doubt, this Story is monumental. If you could bag human endevour to overcome unimagineable pain as this movie shows, and with it's recovery, beautifully told.
This needs more attention ♡ Amazing
Watched this last night. How mere children survived these horrors is beyond me. I cannot imagine one teenager today, with their expensive smart phones and devices, living through an hour of what these children lived through. My jaw literally dropped at the end, when they showed the first "child", now an elderly man, telling his story, and then seeing the other survivors. I cried and cried.
One of those men, a former Olympian, is a friend's Uncle. He is now 90.

@@martynnotman3467 Yes...
These kinds of comments are so weird, talking about “teenagers of today with their expensive phones” as if having an expensive phone is an universal experience, my girl, the fact that you think that way of teenagers in the present says more about your own privileged life than that of theirs, most kids are not growing up in pretty homes with expensive phones completely free of worries, that's a very small minority of them, even if we were talking about kids in developed countries there's a bunch of stuff in their personal lives that could go wrong because money doesn't magically evaporate all problems in life.
Kids and people are way more resilient than we think they are, it's just that some children will never need to show that resilience to the same extent than others.
You are correct, absolutely! ...P.S. I am in my early 60's and DO NOT have a smart phone@@Nameless-ny8nk
I'm already crying buckets just seeing the trailer, what an amazing story.
I just watched the movie today for my Holocaust class and it's so worth it. I cry happy tears. I'm so moved by this.
A tear jerker at the end.
beautiful movie, totally recommended
I am so glad this movie was made in England and not by Hollywood.
I hope someone can help me with the following questions 1 what movie are the children watching and what is the song they're singing 2 when the leader says there's not an infinite amount of Goodwill from the home office shouldn't that be the foreign office deals with another country 3 what sort of dog exactly did the lady have hope someone can help thank you all my back Travis

How did they get Ana Frank?
Как такое возможно... Что должно случится, какие обстоятельства могут заставить такое огромное количество людей, целую нацию, в одночасье, превратиться в ужасающих монстров,
которым чуждо сострадание. Умерщвлять тысячами, беззащитных людей, женщин, стариков, детей. Подвергать пыткам, кошмарным экспериментам.
Я пытаюсь найти хоть какую-то причину что могла бы заставить их творить подобное, любую, пусть даже самую неимоверную, и не могу. Я не смог бы поступить так даже если на кону была бы жизнь моей семьи,
моих детей, а они настояший чистый свет моей жизни. Не могу выразить словами то что я чувствую когда вижу подобные истории из прошлого. Без тени сомнения отдал бы жизнь за любого ребенка, что пострадал на этой чудовищной войне...
Мы все знаем о двух мировых войнах и допускаем что третья может случится??????? После того что знаем и видели, пусть не лично. Как такое возможно. Как смеем мы, называть себя разумными после такого???
Невиновных тут нет, все мы, те что идут на войну ради денег, веры, по каким то личным убеждениям, те что не одобряют но молча стоят в стороне, те что бегут в глухие леса или прячутся в страхе в подземных бункерах.
Мы все виновны если позволим подобному повториться. Мы люди независимо от цвета кожи, религиозных предпочтений, национальной принадлежности, не должны никогда больше допустить повторения подобного.
Иначе мы все ничем не лучше самых обыкновенных нацистов. В мире нет ничего что может оправдать смерть ребенка.. Патриотизм, приказ командира, жажда мести, возможность заработать, и многое другое чем
пытаются оправдать подобное безумие. Все это не стоит даже одной единственной слезы ребенка.
Как жаль что мне не хватает слов чтобы описать то что чувствую, жаль что эмпaтия чужда большинству из нас. Все можно исправить, нужно всего лишь научится состраданию....
Жаль что это останется лишь комментарием.....
Это правда... Ты полностью прав.
Yes

love you England ❤️ thank you for saving the world in WW2🌹
its Russia who saved it
@@hittv817 And the United States of America sent its technology, armaments and forces to help in the cause, all around the world. Not just in Europe. And, we stopped the war, finally, in Japan, by dropping 2 atomic bombs. There are those who will say we did a terrible thing, but we didn't ask to face a sudden aerial attack in Pearl Harbor.
@@joemacpherson1664 fuck off
All countries from anti-hitler coalition... USSR and it`s mighty army, Britain and USA with their technology and air force. Every soldier, who go at front. Everybody. All world. It is not win of Russia, England, USA or someone else. It`s a war, who *WORLD* wins.
///I DONT KNOW ENGLISH, YEAH? I LIVING IN RUSSIA AND SPEAK THIS LANGUAGE *SO BAD* ////
The heroes are those who lived it. My grandpa was in North Africa and my grandma was a fire watcher in Portsmouth.
don't.mention the war
I have a real issue with this movie, the portrayal of six British mid
teens in a gang, giving the Nazi salute is wrong on so many levels.
There would have been no such gangs in the UK at that time, girls or
boys did not form street gangs, especially in small rural villages, not
until the late fifties and sixties would you encounter youth culture in
this period it did not exist. I have read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes in
the US the reviewers believe that the scene highlights the facism and
xenophobia in the UK, even though the German teacher approaches the boys
and explains that these are Polish children not German. Meaning that
the gang is not giving a Nazi salute they are mocking what they think
are Germans with a nazi salute. Its bizarre that the vast majority of
interactions between the British population and these children are
negative. That was not the case the British were welcoming of refugee's
at this time why ? because they had lost half a million men killed and
as many maimed during the war against the Nazi's (Germans) just a heads
up non Nazi's Germans also killed the British Men Women and Children.
