Children play table tennis at the reception camp, Dovercourt 1938
In the former holiday camp near Dovercourt that served as the first reception centre for the children, several boys and girls pass the time playing table tennis. The camp's simple summer chalets were not built for winter, and the newly arrived children often had to endure the cold while foster families were being found. The playful scene contrasts sharply with what many of the children had just been through: a hurried separation from their parents in the wake of the November pogroms. For many, this remained one of their last carefree memories, since the parents left behind often later became victims of the Holocaust.
