Children wait beside the table tennis table, Dovercourt 1938
Several children sit on benches beside the table tennis table, waiting while others play. Such waiting periods were part of daily life at the reception camp, where hundreds of children had to be housed, fed and registered at the same time. Volunteers and British relief organisations spent the following days arranging the children's placement with foster families across the country. The orderly, almost casual atmosphere of the footage contrasts sharply with the persecution the children had just escaped in Germany.
