Britain’s King Charles III visited a memorial on Friday to 10,000 children who were rescued from Nazi Germany during the Kindertransport.
The statue in Hamburg is called The Final Parting and shows the young refugees leaving for Britain with their belongings in a suitcase.
Most of their parents were murdered in the Holocaust.
It was one of several commemorative moments during the king’s state visit, where he spoke of the “special bond of friendship” that grew between Britain and Germany from the ruins of the Second World War.
