The Prague docked in Harwich, December 1938
The Prague, a ferry on the Hoek van Holland–Harwich route, lies quietly in the dock basin after delivering its young passengers ashore. On board had been around 200 German Jewish children who had travelled by train through the Netherlands before crossing the Channel to England. 2 December 1938 thus marked the beginning of the Kindertransport, through which Britain rescued thousands of Jewish children from persecution in Nazi Germany before the outbreak of war in 1939. The unassuming ferry became a symbol of rescue.
