Boy eating after arrival of the Kindertransport, Harwich 1938
A boy sits 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. Volunteers provided food and initial care for the often exhausted arrivals after their long crossing of the North Sea. The transport marked the start of a rescue effort that continued until the outbreak of war in 1939.
