It is a Wall to Wall and Warner Bros. ITVP Germany production for the BBC and ZDF, in association with Northern Ireland Screen, and is distributed by Fremantle.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Holland, controller of BBC Two, said: \u201c<em>The Children<\/em>\u00a0(w\/t) promises to be a beautiful and powerful drama about a little-known part of British history. The refuge given in the Lakes and determination to give children back their lives so they could begin again is both deeply moving and humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tom McDonald, head of commissioning for natural history and specialist factual, added: \u201cI feel privileged that we will be bringing this extraordinary, but little-known, story to vivid life through beautifully realized drama and powerful testimony interview. This timely, evocative and emotional film, which reflects our ambitions for History at the BBC, will shine a light on events in such a way that they change how we see not just the past, but the present.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leanne Klein, CEO of Wall to Wall Media, said: &#8220;<em>The Children<\/em>\u00a0(w\/t) is a story of hope after horror, revealing how Britain and a remarkable group of adults transformed the lives of 300 child survivors of the concentration camps. Seventy-five years after the Holocaust ended it\u2019s a story that feels as important and relevant as ever. I\u2019m incredibly proud of the exceptional cast and crew we have brought together to make this film.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Two has ordered The Children (working title), a drama based on a true story regarding child survivors of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":11296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-11295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-two","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
