Children board the bus, Kindertransport Harwich 1938
After arrival and registration, children accompanied by female helpers board a waiting bus that will take them to their temporary accommodation. Buses carried children of the first Kindertransport, among other places, to a makeshift reception camp near Harwich, before they were individually placed with foster families across the country. The transport of 2 December 1938 marked the start of a rescue effort through which Britain took in thousands of mostly Jewish children from Germany before the outbreak of war in 1939. For the young travellers, every further step meant a final separation from the world they had known.
