  • FILM NIGHT IN THE VILLAGE HALL TUESDAY 19TH MARCH

    The Windermere Children - Wikipedia

    CHIDEOCK HALL FILM NIGHT – THE WINDERMERE CHILDREN
    Tuesday 19th March – 7.00pm for 7.30pm
    The poignant story about a group of child survivors of the Holocaust rehabilitated in the UK. The
    very first lines, voiced over the titles, give you notice of what follows: “They tore me from my
    father’s arm and took me away. This moment I will never, ever forget.”
    In 1945, shortly after the end of the Second World War, the British government agreed to take
    some 732 refugee Jewish children, survivors of the Nazis’ extermination camps (and a tiny fraction
    of those murdered in those death factories). About 300, from toddlers to adolescents, were
    billeted in some huts near Windermere. There, under the solicitous care of guardians and a rabbi
    (played by Thomas Kretschmann, Tim McInnerney, and Konstantin Frank with sensitivity), as well
    as an art therapy teacher, played by Romola Garai, they find themselves rehabilitated, from
    starving, terrified children to normality, in a remarkable few months.

    £5.00 Entry – cash or card payments accepted which includes free Tea/Coffee & Popcorn
    Wine by glass or bottle, beer, cider & choc ices on sale during interval.
