Supervisor watches children playing table tennis, Dovercourt 1938
A man stands to the side, watching several children play table tennis — likely one of the volunteer helpers caring for the young refugees at the reception camp. Such recreational activities were meant to offer the children some normality and distraction after their abrupt separation from their families. The Movement for the Care of Children from Germany and other relief organisations quickly arranged supervisors, clothing and meals for the new arrivals. Many of the children stayed only a few days at the camp before moving on to foster families across Britain.
