Children of the first Kindertransport sit closely together at tables and are given a meal after arriving in Harwich aboard the ship 'Prague' via Hoek van Holland. Around 200 German Jewish children and adolescents aged five to seventeen had been granted permission to enter Britain without their parents following the November pogroms. Volunteers looked after food and care for the often exhausted children after their long journey. The transport marked the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939.
