THE WINDERMERE CHILDREN
April 5, 2020  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
PREMIERE: On the same night PBS dramatizes the beginnings of WWII in World on Fire, it also presents a dramatization set at the end of that same war. The Windermere Children tells of the time, in 1945, when England opened its doors to an estimated 1,000 young Holocaust survivors, and dispatched them to safe havens, places where they could learn English, be educated, fed, and generally reclaimed as human beings. Some 400 of those young people were sent to the affluent Calgarth Estate at Lake Windermere – and this carefully researched, meticulously recreated drama is their story. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the WatchtowerCheck local listings.
