The White
Buses

A collaboration with the Swedish Red Cross

October 1944. The Allied troops have finally entered German territory after fierce fighting. Slowly and gradually, it dawns on the German commanders that they are losing the war. The risk is growing that the Nazis will try to erase all traces of their crimes, killing all the concentration camp prisoners. Life in Nazi Germany is dangerous, and Sweden wants to bring home all Scandinavians.
Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes are working together to save as many as possible before disaster strikes. The White Buses may be the salvation.
Here you can read more about the White Buses. Follow some of the people who worked on the buses and learn more about their stories.
