Having landed at Harwich, the young refugees are led toward a makeshift reception camp near the harbour. Among the roughly 200 children of the first transport were pupils of a Jewish orphanage in Berlin whose building had been set alight during the November pogroms of 9-10 November 1938. The steamer 'Prague' had carried them via the Hook of Holland to England after Britain agreed to admit unaccompanied Jewish children up to the age of seventeen. Before the outbreak of war in 1939, the Kindertransport programme brought several thousand Jewish children from Germany to safety, while many of their parents later became victims of the Holocaust.
