The Danish Church and Cultural Center invites you to attend the Movie Screening of “Passage to Sweden” and a Q&A with the director Suzannah Warlick.
An afternoon with focus on history, humanity, compassion and courage.
Rescue & Escape - Passage To Sweden tells the lesser known story of events occurring in Scandinavia and Budapest during WWII. It focuses on the extraordinary heroic actions of ordinary people who saved the lives of thousands of Jews and fellow countrymen. Special attention is paid to the citizens of Denmark, the Norwegian resistance, Raoul Wallenberg, and Count Folke Bernadotte, all of whom showed exemplary courage during the darkest of times. Sweden's geographic location and its role in the war, changed the fate of thousands of Jews.
