My Knees Were Jumping: Remembering the Kindertransports
Directed by Melissa Hacker
In the nine months just prior to World War II nearly 10,000 children were sent, without their parents, to Great Britain from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. These children were rescued by the Kindertransport movement. Most of the children never saw their parents again. Those courageous parents who had the strength to send their children off to an unknown fate soon boarded transports taking them to concentration camps.
Director Melissa Hacker weaves together the colossal rescue of 10,000 children from Nazi-occupied Europe with her own story as the child of a survivor.
