Resist

In “Resist”, young Edda lives in Nazi occupied Holland during the Second World War. Colour in her bicycle and draw brave Edda. Now where is she going? She could be delivering resistance newsletters, alongside bombed out buildings passing tanks on the street, whilst Spitfires fly overhead. Or is she cycling into the countryside foraging for tulip bulbs and nettles to eat? Or could she be standing up to Nazi soldiers and taking rescue packages to British airmen hiding in the woods? You choose!

After the War – Paper dolls

Cut out and decorate these paper dolls to remember the 300 Windermere children who arrived in the English Lake District after their liberation from the concentration camps. Here are some ideas:

colour them as children like the friends in After the War : Yossi, Leo and Mordecai
add words of kindness you’d like to say to them to welcome them
make a display of them holding hands against a backdrop of Cumbrian mountains and lakes.
colour them in as adults – what do you think they might grow up to do? (The real Windermere children grew up to have fulfilling lives as teachers, electricians, dentists and one even represented Britain in the Olympics).
Challenge: decorate all 300 Windermere children!
