An online program in the Flight or Fight: stories of artists under repression series, featuring a screening of My Knees Were Jumping: Remembering the Kindertransports and a live conversation between filmmaker Melissa Hacker and Rachel Stern. The event highlights the lives and artistic legacies of Kindertransport survivors Ruth Morley (née Birnholz), an Academy Award–nominated costume designer, and Lore Segal, acclaimed writer. Both women recount their experiences of antisemitism in Vienna, the trauma of November 1938, their Kindertransport journeys, and their postwar lives in the UK and North America.
