ounded by Danish entertainer Victor Borge and New York attorney Richard Netter in 1963, Thanks To Scandinavia provides dozens of scholarships for students and teachers from Scandinavia and Bulgaria each year in gratitude for the heroic rescue and protection of Jews in Europe during the Second World War.

Our goals:

  • Telling the inspiring story of how Scandinavians protected
    thousands of their Jewish neighbors during the Holocaust years;
  • Granting educational scholarships to students, medical professionals,
    and teachers in continued gratitude and friendship;
  • Building bridges of friendship among Scandinavians, Americans,
    and Jews worldwide that are vibrant today and into the future.

“The selfless and heroic efforts  of the Scandinavian people through the dark days of Nazi terror is a shining example of humanity and hope for now and tomorrow. I can do something to honor it and I will. Won't you?”
Victor Borge, Co-Founder,
