SUMMARY:Remembering the Kindertransports Film Screening and Discussion at t
 he Goethe Institute\, Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a film screening of the documentaries My Knees Wer
 e Jumping - Remembering the Kindertransports and 256\,000 Miles From Home
  by Melissa Hacker. Followed by a discussion with filmmaker and Kindertra
 nsport Association Executive Director Melissa Hacker and 2g writer and act
 ivist Esther Dischereit.\n\nIn the nine months just prior to World War II 
 nearly 10\,000 children were sent\, without their parents\, to Great Brita
 in from Nazi Germany\, Austria\, Czechoslovakia and Poland. These children
  were rescued by the Kindertransport movement. Most of the children never 
 saw their parents again as they soon after boarded trains taking them to c
 oncentration camps.\n\nMy Knees Were Jumping - Remembering the Kindertrans
 ports\nOne of the children that were rescued by a Kindertransport was Meli
 ssa Hacker’s mother\, who fled from Vienna and eventually settled in the
  United States\, where she became an Academy Award nominated costume desig
 ner\, working on films such Taxi Driver\, Annie Hall\, The Hustler\, The M
 iracle Worker\, Tootsie\, and many more classic American movies. She is a 
 strong presence of the film talking about her experiences alongside other 
 former child refugees\, many of them women. They remember the antisemitism
  of schoolmates and neighbours\, the violence and their fears of the Krist
 allnacht\, the difficult decision their parents had to make to send them o
 ff into the unknown\, and how they were received in England by foster fami
 lies. Hacker gives them plenty of space to talk and reflect on past events
  making this film a moving and invaluable record of testimony.\n\nTo rsvp
