SUMMARY:Raoul Wallenberg Day: Tribute to Civil Courage & Humanity with Embassy of Sweden
DESCRIPTION:August 27 marks Raoul Wallenberg Day\, Sweden’s national day for equal rights and civil courage. Held on Raoul’s Òname day’ in the Swedish calendar\, it is the first Swedish national day to honor a civilian\, and an occasion that commemorates his extraordinary efforts during the Holocaust and the enduring legacy of his compassion and bravery. \nTo celebrate Raoul Wallenberg Day\, join us for a special screening of Good Evening\, Mr. Wallenberg\, a powerful 1990 Swedish historical drama directed by Kjell Grede and starring acclaimed actor Stellan SkarsgŒrd. The film traces Wallenberg’s remarkable transformation from a businessman into a humanitarian hero. Using his diplomatic status\, he forged protective passports and created safe houses\, ultimately saving tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Budapest. The film earned widespread acclaim in Sweden\, winning multiple Guldbagge Awards\, including Best Film and Best Director. \nWe’re honored to be joined by Dr. Ionela Ana D_scul_u\, a Romani

SUMMARY:Sweden on the Roof: Screening of The Bridgeplayers with Embassy of Sweden
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of Sweden is excited to offer a selection of Swedish rooftop film screenings this summer that celebrate the rich cultural heritage and cinematic excellence of Sweden. \nOur next screening presents The Bridgeplayers (2025)\, a film about four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers. \nFilmmakers Alberto Herskovits and Bengt Bok document four bridge-playing women and Auschwitz survivors as they witness a dramatically changing world in this unconventional film about the Holocaust. Despite their traumas and haunting memories\, the four women have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm\, have been friends for decades\, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life proceeds as usual\, but suddenly everything changes with the Hamas terror attack and the situation in Gaza. A unique film about the Holocaust and the art of survival. \nThe film will be screened on the rooftop (weather permitting) of
