Boys and girls walk to the bus, Kindertransport 1938

Boys and girls of various ages walk together across the harbour grounds toward a waiting bus. They are among the roughly 200 children who arrived in Harwich with the first Kindertransport from Germany on 2 December 1938. Most were between five and seventeen years old and travelled without their parents, who were denied permission to leave. For many of the children, this marked the beginning of a life with British foster families, while their parents remained in Germany exposed to Nazi persecution.
