Judisk kultur i Sverige mourns the untimely passing of Per Svensson (1956–2025), author, journalist, liberal humanist, a pillar of light and a good friend. Per immensely contributed to the development of our institution and was engaged in J!s programs in Stockholm, Malmö, Båstad and Göteborg. He was a driving force in the project Jewish Culture Season – Minorities in Dialogue (Judisk vår - Minoriteter i dialog), held in Malmö and in Stockholm throughout the spring of 2015.
Numerous interviews with our international guests were entrusted in his competent hands: David Grossman, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Eva Illouz, Adam Gopnik to mention a few. His last appearance on our stage took place in January 2024 after he had won the August Prize for his book Zorn – ett liv, en tid.
Per recently contributed an essay about Marshall Berman to our anthology Davids Stjärnor that came out this past May.
We will miss you, our brilliant, sharp, beautiful Star of David.
יהי זכרו ברוך
