Children registered on arrival, Harwich December 1938

Children from Germany arrive in the port of Harwich and are registered by volunteers matching their name tags against lists. British refugee committees organised this first transport, having to arrange guarantees and accommodation for unaccompanied Jewish minors in a short time after the November pogroms of 1938. On 2 December 1938 around 200 children thus reached safe ground while their parents remained behind in Germany. The footage is among the earliest filmed records of the rescue effort.
