Audio: Two Countries Two Communities
and 
.My European trip took me to Denmark and Sweden, where I met Jewish community leaders of these close neighbours. The accounts of their population’s attitude to Jewish fellow citizens varies markedly. Whereas in Denmark like in many other countries, anti-Semitism is cloaked as anti-Israel feeling emanating from the Muslim immigrants, but with no reported aggression, The situation in Sweden is vastly different. Hear vivid accounts from leaders of the two Jewish communities.
In this photo you see the 10 mile connection between Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmo in Sweden. A 2.2-mile underwater tunnel emerges onto a roadway on a 2.5-mile artificial island, and the cable-supported Bridge stretches 4.9 miles toward Sweden, making a thin white line across the image.
