The Child Survivors' Association (special interest group of the AJR) organised a visit to the 'Windermere Boys' exhibition at The Manchester Jewish Museum where they were met by local members of the AJR.
In August 1945 300 children liberated from Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, Ghetto and the surrounding area were brought to England and settled at the Calgarth Estate in Winderemere. Although the group included 40 girls it became known as 'The Boys' after Martin Gilbert's book of that name.
Chairman of the CSA, Joanna Millan, was three years old when she arrived at Windermere. Together with fellow CSA member Zdenka Husserl and AJR members, Josef Berger and Abraham Pawlowski, these four 'Boys' shared their memories of their experiences at the Calgarth Estate with the rest of the group. The exhibition is on at The Manchester Jewish Museum until 31st May.
