  • This recorded conversation followed the Boston Jewish Film in-person screening of "One Life" with Eva Paddock, a Holocaust and Kindertransport survivor who was rescued by Sir Nicholas Winton. Professor Lori Lefkovitz, Director of the Jewish Studies Program at Northeastern University, moderated the discussion.
    "One Life" tells the incredible, emotional, true story of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton (played by Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Flynn), a young London broker who visits Prague in December 1938. In a race against time, Winton convinces Trevor Chadwick and Doreen Warriner of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia to rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children before Nazi occupation closes the borders.
    Fifty years later, Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he couldn’t bring to safety in England. It’s not until the BBC show “That’s Life!” re-introduces him to some of those he helped rescue that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he carried - all the while skyrocketing from anonymity to a national hero.
    One Life is based on the biography of Sir Nicholas Winton written by his daughter, Barbara Winton.
