The Segerstedt Institute at The University of Gothenburg organizes annual tolerance workshops and training courses for teachers throughout Sweden. The goal is to help combat extremism. As part of the course they arrange trips to the Warsaw Ghetto and the death camp at Treblinka. Eugenia Göndör grew up in Warsaw during World War II and survived the Holocaust. The Segerstedt Institute invited Eugenia to accompany them on one of their trips to Warsaw, which she had not visited since she fled there as a child.
TTV Media produced a documentary film about the journey in which we hear Eugenia’s story and follow along as she visits the places she remembers from her childhood. Eugenia also has the opportunity to visit the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw and say a final farewell to her family members who lay buried there. The film had a premiere showing in the Swedish Parliament on Holocaust Remembrance Day and was simultaneously broadcast on SVT, the Swedish state broadcaster. The Segerstedt Institute now uses the film in their educational program.
