Children walk to the waiting bus, Harwich 1938

Children walk in a small group across the quay toward a waiting bus, only minutes after arriving at the port of Harwich. It is 2 December 1938, the day the first Kindertransport with around 200 Jewish children from Germany reached England. Their journey had carried them out of the country via Hoek van Holland aboard the ferry Prague, after the British government had approved entry for unaccompanied children following the November pogroms. The bus was to take them to their first accommodation in England.
