Montreal Holocaust Museum and Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights present the award winning film Passage To Sweden in commemoration of Raoul Wallenberg and the Righteous Among the Nations

About 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.

Under dire circumstances, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of lives. First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary acts of Swedish diplomats who leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany.

Special attention is paid to the brave citizens of Denmark, the Norwegian resistance, the Swedish Red Cross, Swedish Diplomats Raoul Wallenberg, and Count Folke Bernadotte, all of whom showed exemplary courage during the darkest of times.

Passage to Sweden is an inspiring film depicting decency, courage, and humanity. It highlights how anyone can make a difference.
