First Part

Join us on a virtual tour where breathtaking Nordic landscapes blend with centuries of shared history. From the Viking Age to the Kalmar Union (1393–1520), the region's kingdoms have long been connected by language, culture, and a strong sense of community. Yet the Jewish experience in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden has taken very different paths, marked by both hardship and hope. We will virtually take you through the streets of Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, and learn about how Jewish life began under very different circumstances: from King Christian IV welcoming Jewish families to Denmark in 1622, to the heroic 1943 rescue of 95% of Denmark's Jews. We'll speak about Norway's wartime tragedy, and Sweden's role as a refuge and light for not only its neighbors but for Jews across Europe.
