While two children play at the table, a group of others looks on with interest. Such scenes from the makeshift reception camp near Dovercourt show the attempt to offer the new arrivals some normality and distraction after the exhausting crossing and separation from their parents. Volunteers from British and Jewish relief organisations looked after housing, food and activities for the children in these first days, before they were placed with foster families across the country.
