Story
Regenesis is leading a group of 11-14 year olds (and their parents!) as we retrace the footsteps of the Windermere Children by trekking and camping in the Lake District.
The Lake District Holocaust Project (LDHP - which is part of a UK Charity) are continuously working to tell the story of the Windermere Children, and the LDHP historians were behind the BBC docu-drama. It is an inspirational project that shows how 300 young Jewish refugees "came back to life" in the Lakes from August 1945, having been rescued from Terezin and other camps.
Please follow our story online this weekend as we camp/eat in Tipi's and a Sukkah, and trek many of the hikes that the boys did as part of their convalescence.
We want to raise funds for the LDHP so that their peaceful education and storytelling continues and will be undertaking a tough challenge camping and hiking to inspire you.
Similar future events are planned see regenesis.org.uk where you can also see photos of our challenge

4 months agoIt was the RAF who helped rescue the Windermere Children in August 1945. Just as we climbed Queen Adelaide Hill on our way back to camp we were treated to a fly past of 3 RAF Typhoons over the Lake!

4 months agoWell we did it! Storm Ashley was waiting for us up in the Lakes, so the first night camping was tough! The next day we were treated to a double rainbow as we hiked from our camp to the Lake District Holocaust Project Museum via the Calgarth Estate, where it is said the Windermere Children came back to life. At the museum a local neighbour had heard of our adventure and donated the trekkers a lulav.
