Rock The Cradle

The lost journal of a remarkable woman who cared for 300 child Holocaust survivors rehabilitating in Windermere, is the first book to be released by dedicated publishing company 2nd Generation. 'Rock the Cradle' is the journal of Marie Paneth, a figure played by Romola Garai in the recent post-Holocaust drama 'The Windermere Children' The journal was only discovered by the Lake District Holocaust Project during research for the highly acclaimed drama. Windermere was affectionately known as 'Wondermere' by the 300 child survivors who came to the Lake District directly from the concentration camps in the summer of 1945. 'Rock the Cradle' will mark the debut of 2nd Generation, a publishing initiative with a dedicated focus on the legacy of trauma from conflicts around the world as it passes down the generations. The founders of 2nd Generation, Henry Hochland and Trevor Avery, both have close links to people who have endured unimaginable horror. Henry is the son of a Holocaust survivor who built a new life as a partner of the renowned Manchester bookshop Haigh and Hochland. Trevor Avery is Director of Lake District Holocaust Project and was closely involved in the research and development of 'The Windermere Children'. He also made a personal appearance in the accompanying documentary 'The Windermere Children - In Their Own Words'.
