Photographers crowd children of the Kindertransport, Harwich 1938
Press photographers crowd around the children arriving from Germany with their cameras, each trying to capture an image of the historic arrival. British and international newspapers reported extensively on the first Kindertransport, which reached Harwich on 2 December 1938 and was intended to raise public sympathy for those persecuted in Nazi Germany. The media attention helped mobilise further donations and foster families for the transports that followed, through which thousands of Jewish children were rescued before 1939.
