A virtual film tour of the award-winning and record-breaking exhibition on Auschwitz now in Kansas City and headed this spring for Malmo, Sweden. More than one million people have seen this exhibition in Madrid, Spain and New York. It will be welcomed in Sweden in an effort to combat antisemitism in the controversial city of Malmo, which in 1943 received Danish Jews fleeing deportation.
