A steam train with 450 Jewish children from Prague arrives at the train station in Nijmegen. Their parents were mostly killed in the concentration camps. They can stay in our country for three years and they will be trained for an assigment in Palestine. They hang from the compartments and are handed food and drinks by people on the platform.
