Boy from the first Kindertransport in the canteen, Harwich 1938
A boy sits in a makeshift canteen 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. Volunteers provided food and initial care for the arrivals after their long and arduous journey. The transport marked the beginning of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939, while the parents left behind mostly remained exposed to persecution in Nazi Germany.
