Children of the first Kindertransport gather in a simple canteen at the reception camp. Feeding hundreds of new arrivals was a logistical challenge for the British relief organisations, which had to arrange accommodation, clothing and meals at short notice. Until individual children were placed with foster families, many stayed at the camp for days or weeks. The bare wooden huts of the former holiday camp were ill-suited to the English winter.
