Neo-Nazis in Sweden blocked the entrance to an exhibition of portraits of Holocaust survivors and intimidated visitors already viewing the display.
The incident took place in the southern city of Visby. Several men from the Nordic Resistance Movement gathered outside the venue displaying the exhibition “Fading Stories – pass them on” by the Raoul Wallenberg Academy and photographer Sanna Sjosward.
In the past, intimidation by the Nordic Resistance Movement led a Jewish community in northern Sweden to dissolve itself, citing security concerns.
IAt this incident, the men tried to block the entrance but one woman pushed passed them, leading them to follow her inside.
“Three Nazis followed and also went into the room,” she said. “Inside they yelled “F***ing myths.”
Police arrived at the scene but did not arrest the neo-Nazis, who left the premises.
“It was unpleasant. It was very clear that they were here intimidate,” another witness said.
