About

In this talk, Trevor will share with us the story of a group of young Holocaust survivors who began their recovery in Windermere in the Lake District. Some of these young boys were later to be relocated to the Loughton Hostel. The talk will share their experiences, through stories from local Windemere residents, and the survivors themselves.
