This 1996 film is the first film to capture the Kindertransport story, chronicling the rescue of nearly 10,000 children from Nazi-occupied Europe and the devastating separations that followed. In recording her Viennese-born mother's story, filmmaker Melissa Hacker reveals the isolation of the rescued children, and the way memories and fears were transmitted to the next generation.


Presented in partnership with the Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center.
