The families of children who came to South Cumbria fleeing Nazi persecution in Poland have remembered those who died.

300 Jewish children flew to Carlisle and were given a holiday in the Lake District before being re-homed in Jewish communities around the UK.

Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day next week, South Lakeland District Council has shown a film of their arrival in the Lake District.
