Helpers accompany Kindertransport children, Harwich 1938
Men and women lead a group of boys and girls across the harbour grounds, many of the children clutching the hands of their escorts. These are members of British and Jewish relief organisations who cared for the first Kindertransport in Harwich on 2 December 1938. The roughly 200 children were first taken to a nearby reception camp before being placed individually or in small groups with foster families across the country. The volunteer helpers, often themselves of Jewish background, organised this logistically demanding rescue effort within weeks of the November pogroms.
