Children eating in the camp canteen, Dovercourt 1938

Children of the first Kindertransport sit at long tables having a meal. Warm food and a regular daily routine were meant to give the young refugees some stability after the exhausting crossing and the sudden separation from their parents. Local volunteers and Jewish relief organisations financed and organised the provisions at the makeshift camp. Within a few weeks, most of the children were placed with foster families across Britain.
