Name tags checked during the Kindertransport, Harwich 1938
A helper checks the name tag hanging around a child's neck while press photographers jostle for good shots of the new arrivals; the ferry Prague lies in the dock behind them. Each of the roughly 200 children wore such a tag with a name and number, since many spoke no English and their parents had to remain behind in Germany. The arrival on 2 December 1938 was the first organised Kindertransport journey after the November pogroms and attracted considerable press attention from the outset. For most of these children it was the last time they would see their parents, many of whom later became victims of the Holocaust.
