Children leave the bus after arrival, Harwich 1938
Again children climb out of a bus shortly after the first Kindertransport arrived in Harwich on 2 December 1938. The roughly 200 children, most aged between five and seventeen, had left Germany after the November pogroms with only a small suitcase and without their parents. The British Movement for the Care of Children from Germany organised shelter, meals and later placement with foster families across the country. For many, a new life in safety began here, while their families remained behind in Germany.
