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

– The museum and Malmö did in 1945, to take a position, going beyond the scope of 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.
