and Bengt BokABOUT THIS EVENT
_*THE EMBASSY OF SWEDEN IN WASHINGTON, DC IS EXCITED TO OFFER A
SELECTION OF SWEDISH ROOFTOP FILM SCREENINGS THIS SUMMER THAT
CELEBRATE THE RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE AND CINEMATIC EXCELLENCE OF
SWEDEN._*
Our next screening presents The Bridgeplayers (2025), a film about
four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers.
Filmmakers Alberto Herskovits and Bengt Bok document four
bridge-playing women and Auschwitz survivors as they witness a
dramatically changing world in this unconventional film about the
Holocaust. Despite their traumas and haunting memories, the four women
have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining
to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm, have been
friends for decades, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life
proceeds as usual, but suddenly everything changes with the Hamas
terror attack and the situation in Gaza. A unique film about the
Holocaust and the art of survival.
