Kindertransport children walking to the bus, Harwich 1938
In a long procession, children walk across the quayside at Harwich toward the waiting buses that will take them onward. On 2 December 1938 they formed the first Kindertransport to reach England from Germany, organised by Jewish and British relief organisations after the November pogroms. Some children carry small suitcases or rucksacks, all that remained of their belongings. By the outbreak of war in September 1939, nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children would be rescued from Nazi persecution by this route.
