Local history/international significance

Quite by chance I visited Windermere today, the day the World Leaders marked Auschwitz Liberation Day, and went to see the 'From Auschwitz to Ambleside' exhibition in the library there. It tells of the 300 children who were brought from the concentration camps in 1945 to live for a time in hostels on the Calgarth Estate in Windermere 'for a period of recuperation'. The photo is of an orphan named Jona Spiegel being cared for by an RAF crewman in Prague. He had been in Theresienstadt camp for 3 years, since he was 6 months old; a notice says that he is alive and well and now lives in London.
