Join us on Zoom with filmmaker, Suzannah Warlick, and narrator, Chana Sharfstein, for a behind-the-scenes look inside this incredible story!

Passage to Sweden is a documentary that examines the unique experience of Jews in Scandinavia during the Second World War. Spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives.

In a discussion with moderator, Lucy Shahar, the filmmaker, Suzannah Warlick, and the narrator, Chana Sharfstein, will give a behind-the-scenes account of the making of the film and Chana’s experience growing up in Sweden.

Suzannah Warlick is the owner of Bubble Soup Productions. She films, edits, and produces on a freelance basis.

She is a retired member of the NYC Board of Education and is currently a docent at the Museum at Eldridge Street, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and at the Center for Jewish History.
