The Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust Ltd.
Mission Statement
We have embarked on a journey to the create a new memorial statue and a supporting educational programme in the town which was the main point of entry for most of the nearly 10,000 children of the Kindertransport between 1938 and 1939. Most were from Jewish families persecuted and terrorised by the Nazis. Many hundreds of them spent their first weeks in this country at the nearby Dovercourt Holiday Camp.

RIP Director Graham Crame
The board was devastated to hear of the sudden loss of Director Graham Crame, a great friend and veteran of many humanitarian aid convoys for Hope and Aid Direct. His compassionate and mindful legacy will continue to guide our work in building the Kindertransport Memorial in Harwich, his beloved home town, and the development and implementation of the educational programme.
