Harwich and the Kindertransport children

Secret Essex

Available for over a year

From December 1938 to the outbreak of war in September 1939, thousands of children travelled through Harwich as they found sanctuary from Nazi persecution in Europe. 'Kindertransport' as it became known was arranged by Sir Nicholas Winton. Sue Daish from the Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust explains how the people of the Essex town came out to help those children.
