A boy sits at a table eating among other children 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 aged five to seventeen had been granted permission to enter Britain without their parents following the November pogroms. After the long crossing, volunteers provided food and initial care for the new arrivals. The transport marked the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939, enabling thousands of children to escape.
