Brief scene: boarding the bus, Kindertransport 1938

In a brief shot, children of the first Kindertransport board a bus that will take them further inland from Harwich. The short sequence belongs to footage of the arrival of around 200 German Jewish children on 2 December 1938, the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939. For the children, this moment marked the first step into a new life in Britain, often shaped by strangers and uncertainty.
