The motion

That this House commemorates the three hundred Jewish children who survived the Holocaust who were flown from the Theresienstadt Ghetto to Crosby-on-Eden airfield on 14 August 1945; recognises that these children had been in the Nazi concentration camp system across Occupied Europe prior to their arrival in Britain; praises the post-World War II Government for accepting these children and aiding them in their recuperation; and celebrates the From Auschwitz to Ambleside exhibition at Windermere Library, which tells the stories of these children's lives and the support they received from the local community.
