SWEDEN

In her essay, Mirjam Carlberg documents the evolution of bat mitzvah through the generations of her family—from a simple confirmation ceremony, to a deeply felt but belated alternative ceremony, to a more typical bat mitzvah ceremony.

There are approximately 20,000 Jews in Sweden, about half in Stockholm and most of the rest in Malmö, Uppsala, and cosmopolitan Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, where Mirjam lives. Officially neutral during World War II, Sweden provided sanctuary to Norwegian and Danish Jews, who were secretly transported to Sweden in fishing boats. Between 1945 and 1970, the Jewish population doubled as Holocaust survivors were brought to Sweden for rehabilitation, and others arrived from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. A pioneer in Holocaust education, the government sponsors a national program on Holocaust awareness and in 2000 hosted an international conference on the Holocaust attended by delegations from around the world.
