Children on the way to the assembly point, Harwich 1938
A small group of children walks on foot across the harbour grounds, heading toward an initial assembly shelter. They belong to the first Kindertransport, which brought around 200 Jewish children from Germany to England on 2 December 1938. Many of them were first taken to a makeshift reception camp near Harwich before relief organisations placed them with foster families across the country. The rescue effort was a direct response to the November pogroms and helped thousands of children escape Nazi persecution in the following months.
