Woman checks children of the Kindertransport, Harwich 1938
A female volunteer moves along the rows of arriving children, checking name tags and accompanying papers as more boys and girls emerge from the crowd. Such volunteer helpers, often sent by Jewish relief committees or Quaker organisations, took first responsibility for the children on the quay. The first Kindertransport reached Harwich on 2 December 1938, weeks after the violent November pogroms in Germany. From here the children were taken on to reception camps or directly to foster families across Britain.
