Film Screening & Director Q&A - Passage to Sweden with Suzannah Warlick

Passage To Sweden tells the lesser-known story of events occurring in Scandinavia and Budapest during WWII where, due to quirks of history and geography, the people of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all had very different experiences. Focusing on the heroic actions of ordinary people who saved the lives of thousands of Jews and fellow countrymen, special attention is paid to the Norwegian resistance, the citizens of Denmark, the Swedish Red Cross, Raoul Wallenberg, and Count Folke Bernadotte. In a world of great division and growing anti-semitism, Passage to Sweden is a salute to a rare bright spot of decency, humanity, and courage during the darkest of times.

After the film, we will be joined by director Suzannah Warlick and author Chana Sharfstein - the latter of whom features prominently in the documentary - for questions and answers. Light refreshments will be served.
