Boys and girls from the Kindertransport eating, Harwich 1938

Boys and girls sit together at tables 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 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 arrivals after the long crossing. The transport marked the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939, enabling thousands of Jewish children to flee Nazi Germany.
