Trevor Avery
Trevor Avery is an artist, curator, historian, and a Director of Another Space, an education charity that initiated and now produces the Lake District Holocaust Project in Windermere UK.
Since 2005 he has been involved in the ongoing Lake District Holocaust Project international initiative looking at the connections and legacy of the story of the three hundred child survivors of the Holocaust who came to the Lake District of England in 1945 directly after liberation from the concentration camps of Nazi Occupied Europe.
Twenty years of exhibitions and projects have been produced alongside the growing archive and permanent exhibition titled "From Auschwitz to Ambleside". In 2016 he was awarded the BEM (British Empire Medal) for Services to Heritage in the Lake District.
He was a primary advisor on “The Windermere Children”, a major television film drama produced by BBC, Wall to Wall, Warner Bros and ZDF, which was broadcast simultaneously in the UK and Germany for HMD20 to coincide with the seventy fifth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The film won the Berlin Prix Europa Award for Best European Television Drama in 2020.
In 2021 he gave a presentation to the United Nations about "The Windermere Children" and appeared on television broadcasts across the US.
His debut book THE WINDERMERE CHILDREN will be published by Ebury in the UK and Little, Brown in the US in early 2027.
