David Taub Reel Series Presents, MY KNEES WERE JUMPING; Remembering the Kindertransports

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

The first documentary film to tell the story of the Kindertransports, a rescue movement that, in the nine months prior to World War II, saved the lives of close to 10,000 children. The children were sent, as unaccompanied refugees, to Britain from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Most never saw their parents again. The courageous parents who had the strength to send their children off to an unknown fate soon boarded transports taking them to concentration camps. Short-listed for Academy Award Nomination, selected for the Sundance Film Festival.

Join director Melissa Hacker to watch and discuss the first documentary film to tell the heart-wrenching story of the Kindertransports.
