Address to the children at the reception camp, Dovercourt 1938
A man addresses a group of children and young people, likely a representative of a British refugee committee or the camp administration. Such briefings were part of daily routine at the makeshift reception camp, where volunteers registered, cared for, and prepared the new arrivals for placement with foster families. Organisations such as the Movement for the Care of Children from Germany coordinated the reception of thousands of Jewish children before the outbreak of war in 1939. For most of the children, this was their first address in an unfamiliar language and setting, without their parents at their side.
