Girls play table tennis at the reception camp, Dovercourt 1938
Several girls stand at the table tennis table playing in the reception camp near Harwich. The first Kindertransport brought boys and girls between the ages of four and seventeen to England, many of them without siblings or acquaintances at their side. Table tennis and other simple games were among the few distractions the makeshift camp could offer before the children were placed with foster families across Britain. For most of the girls, this was their first day in a foreign country whose language they barely spoke.
