THE part played by Harwich and Dovercourt in rescuing Jewish children from Nazi Germany is to be examined as part of a £25,000 school project.
Harwich and Dovercourt High School has been given the cash by the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Exits and Entrances project.
About 10,000 children, most of whom were Jewish, were packed off on the Kindertransport to escape Nazi Europe, from December 1938 and September 1939.
Anyone with memories or memorabilia from the period can contact the school on 01255245460 or by e-mailing admin@harwich. essex.sch. uk
