Children get off the bus, Kindertransport Harwich 1938

A bus stops and children climb out one by one, part of the arrival of the first Kindertransport at the port of Harwich. Their journey had brought them out of Germany via Hoek van Holland and the ferry Prague, only weeks after the November pogroms. The British government had shortly before approved the entry of unaccompanied Jewish children under 17. Volunteers and representatives of Jewish and British relief organisations cared for the new arrivals before they were assigned to foster families or reception shelters.
