Yom HaShoah Film Screening, with director Melissa Hacker

We are thrilled to be screening the 1996 documentary film “My Knees Were Jumping: Remembering the Kindertransports,” in honor of the upcoming Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even more thrilling, film director Melissa Hacker will join us in person for the screening and a discussion afterward. The film tells the story of The Kindertransport movement which brought nearly 10,000 children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, before the advent of World War II, saving many of their lives. The story is told through memories and interviews of Melissa’s own mother as well as many others who were rescued on the transport. Please join us for this special event.

With appreciation to the Holocaust Remembrance Film Fund for making this event possible.
