On May 29, 2026, Crown Princess Victoria visited Landskrona Citadel to inaugurate the new exhibition “The Escape 43.” In the autumn of 1943, more than 7,000 Danish Jews fled across the Øresund Strait to escape deportation to Nazi concentration camps. By fleeing to Sweden, the vast majority of Jews living in Denmark survived.
During her visit to the Commandant’s House at Landskrona Citadel, the Crown Princess toured the new exhibition, which features testimonies, archival materials, and historical artifacts. Following the tour, a ceremony was held in the castle courtyard, where the exhibition was officially inaugurated. The exhibition tells the story of how Swedish and Danish fishermen, along with many others, helped carry out the rescue operation.
