– Ernst Fischer is a great role model, a model with a large F, said Culture and Democracy Minister Alica Bah Kunke (S) in his speech.

– He took the opportunity to make a difference. He dared a short time to decide that “I shut the museum,” she said further.

Poland ambassadörWieslaw Tarka described the contemporary Malmo as a place where history was written .

– The war was ever present in my childhood, he said.

The exhibition display images, art and films under the title “In the shadow of war.” Out in the courtyard is one of five remaining white buses.

The exhibition opens at 8 May is of course no coincidence.

– It ärårsdagen for Second World War, said culture director Elisabeth Lundgren.

She also took the opportunity to thank all those who contributed their memories and said that without their participation it would not have any exhibition.

Hanna Thomé (V) Councillor for Culture and anti-discrimination as compared with now.

– The museum and Malmö did in 1945 was to take a stand, to go outside the box to the thought that human dignity is above everything else. It’s a history we are proud of, a solidarity that we want to remember and recreate in today’s Malmö. Therefore, the exhibition “Welcome to Sweden” extremely timely because today we see a serious community where racism is normalized increasingly, she said.
