Children disembark the Prague, Kindertransport Harwich 1938
Children leave the ferry Prague and are registered by volunteers using the name tags worn around their necks. The ship had carried the children across the Channel from Hoek van Holland to Harwich, where the first organised Kindertransport from Germany arrived on 2 December 1938. Organised by Jewish and Christian relief agencies, the British government allowed unaccompanied minors under 17 to enter without a visa. For most of the children, it was a final farewell to their parents.
