Volunteers check the name tags each child of the first Kindertransport wears around the neck, to prevent mix-ups when the children are handed over to British foster families. Many of the arrivals spoke no English, so the tags bearing name and destination were the only reliable guide. The transport arrived on 2 December 1938 aboard the ship Prague from Hoek van Holland, weeks after the November pogroms. It marked the start of a rescue effort that brought around 10,000 mostly Jewish children to Britain before the outbreak of war.
