My Knees Were Jumping reveals the heart-wrenching story behind the Kindertransport.         

A powerful account of this astonishing slice of Holocaust history, it is told with poignant intimacy by the daughter of a survivor. Narrated by screen legend Joanne Woodward, the film weaves first-hand accounts with extraordinary archival footage. From grappling with the guilt of survival to the fear of abandonment that still haunts them to this day, these survivors’ unforgettable stories will leave few viewers unchanged. (1996, 76 minutes, in English)

Norbert Bikales, a Holocaust Survivor who was part of the Kindertransport, will introduce the film and lead the discussion that will follow.
