The Ultimate Accolade Room – the room of good deeds

None of them fought alone – they were all dependent on cooperation with others. Nor were they superhumans; they had their faults and shortcomings just like other people, and made mistakes just like other people. They often had to negotiate with criminals and shake their blood-stained hands in order to be able to save lives. The only weapons available to the individuals featured in this exhibition were their commitment, their inventiveness and their power to convince. Democracy was often both their objective and their tool, as was the protection a democratic state can offer citizens from oppressed countries.

In this room you will meet, among others, Raoul Wallenberg, Folke Bernadotte, Harald Edelstam, Elsa Brändström and Alma Johansson.

“No one can do everything, but everyone can do something”, as the saying goes. In The Ultimate Accolade Room, you can find strength and inspiration from people who have made a difference with their good deeds.
