Harwich

Harwich is an English port city on the North Sea coast.

The port of Harwich was the main point of entry for most of the children who found refuge in Britain through the Kindertransport rescue programme, from December 1938 to the outbreak of war in September 1939. Almost 10,000 children, mostly Jewish thus escaped Nazi persecution.[1]
