Boy from the Kindertransport at a meal, Harwich 1938

A boy sits among other children at a table eating after the first Kindertransport arrived in Harwich on 2 December 1938 aboard the ship 'Prague' via Hoek van Holland. Around 200 German Jewish children and adolescents had been granted permission to enter Britain without their parents following the November pogroms. For many of the exhausted and frightened children, the warm meal after the long journey was the first gesture of care in a foreign land. The transport marked the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939.
