Movie Haiku:In the 1930s Vienna’s Jewish community had everything, including a champion women’s swim team. 60 years later, surviving members of HAKOAH (Hebrew for “strength”) return to Vienna to swim together again in the huge training pool appropriated by the Nazis immediately after the Anschluss. The ladies in this Israeli doc are phenomenal! (For more, see Jan''s WJD review in COLUMNS section.)
