The Film

Between 1940-1945, during WWII, the sheer luck of where you were living made a world of difference to the Jews of Scandinavia. For unique political and geographic reasons, the Scandinavian Jews of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark had very different experiences.

During the German occupation, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Defying the occupying German forces, and protecting fellow citizens, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives. First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany.

This award-winning documentary captures the courage, compassion, and protection that Scandinavian countries and their citizens offered Jewish refugees facing Nazi persecution. It's a powerful example of how anyone can make a difference.
