home country of Myanmar (Burma) For her sacrifices and commitment she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 In her speech upon receiving the award in Oslo “When you are forgotten you die a little.” is a great Swedish hero of the 20th century who Elsa came from a very distinguished family of public servants He was a great believer in the idea of giving back and was a strong supporter of the Swedish Red Cross he was a kind father and gave his children a happy Elsa’s mother was a warm person with a strong commitment to social justice Edward Brändström was named Swedish military atttaché in St In 1891 the family returned to Sweden where Brändström became head of the army garrison at Linköping Different from the rigid discipline that one might have expected in such a family the parents encouraged Elsa and her two brothers to be independent self-confident and involved in social problems Her mother tried to get her to play with dolls but Elsa was more interested in the town politics she discussed with her father after dinner In 1906 Brändström was appointed Swedish Ambassador to Russia because her parent didn't want her exposed to the overwhelming social life of the glittering Russian capitol at such a young age and from 1906 to 1908 Elsa attended a finishing school in Stockholm as she was not interested in the curriculum of embroidery “Maybe she would fit in in America.” Thus began Elsa's dream of starting her own school In 1908 Elsa rejoined her family at the Swedish Embassy in St It was a wonderful life of balls and parties sleigh rides and banquets that Elsa did love and enjoy she was the perfect image of a Nordic ambassador’s daughter But she was conflicted because she wanted also to accomplish something in her own right She wanted to make a contribution against the injustices and oppression that she saw around her in Russia Elsa met the great Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf and as a guide I had a young Swedish woman I knew about her that she came from a happy home and since she came from society’s highest circles I could surely imagine that her life was a dance on a bed of roses But during the excursion this young compatriot began to talk with me of her longing to leave this unsatisfying life of pleasure and make use of her gifts leaving Elsa as the hostess at the embassy In 1914 the First World War broke out and Elsa She visited prisons and hospitals where wounded German and Austrian war prisoners were in transit toward Russian POW camps in Siberia alone — and she realized that as a neutral daughter of a prominent ambassador she was in a unique position to help these people who had a unique need for help This realization was a transformative experience and a radical turning point for Elsa Just as breathing out and breathing in are inextricably linked so was Elsa’s response to this challenge that she took upon herself She devoted herself tirelessly to the service of these German and Austrian prisoners held in the farthest reaches of Russia In October 1915 she took her first trip to visit the Russian POW camps in Siberia It is appalling to learn that 2.6 million prisoners were held in Russia Friends and family opposed her plans to help in Siberia it was considered unsuitable work for a woman saying if his sons wanted to engage in this work he wouldn’t stop them and why then would he stop his daughter: “No one ought to stop a person from fulfilling their mission in life” was his inspiring comment on the matter When Elsa came to Siberia with a train full of supplies provided by the Swedish Red Cross she found that thousands of POWs were kept in frightful conditions They had little water or sanitary facilities Then “Schwester Elsa” would arrive with a few dedicated helpers Through the charismatic power of her personality her noble physical presence and prominent position she got the Russian camp commandants to cooperate Elsa came with thousands of “liebesgaben” — backpacks with practical gifts of underwear She obtained for the prisoners infirmaries even the simple privilege of being allowed to take a walk The physical conditions in Siberia were primitive and Elsa worked despite bitter cold She was an extraordinary example of two great virtues: courage and love At each camp her warm smile and glowing presence gave the prisoners her greatest gift — hope Very quickly she was called the Angel of Siberia Most of all she restored human dignity to the prisoners who had a glittering social life and many suitors left her private life behind and dedicated herself totally to the mission of helping the German and Austrian prisoners in Russia Her electrifying presence was a special gift that made her perfectly suited for this work Elsa was the only neutral Red Cross delegate who saw it all from the beginning to the end In 1917 the Russian Revolution made her work even harder as chaos and anarchy broke out over the vast land But her mission was clear — to save as many prisoners as she could — and tens of thousands of lives were saved through her efforts on behalf of the Swedish Red Cross Elsa returned to Stockholm to a hero’s welcome She wanted to establish several rest homes in Germany for the returning men whose health had been broken by the life in the camps She wanted to establish boarding schools for the children of those who did not return “Among War Prisoners in Russia” and gave a series of lectures around Sweden as fundraisers to support her cause In 1923 she traveled to Swedish-American settlements around the United States to give lectures and raise money Elsa spent the rest of the 1920s working in Germany a German professor of education in Dresden They married in November 1929 and had a daughter refused to join the Nazi party and lost his job The family left Germany and moved to Cambridge As soon as Nazi refugees started arriving in the Boston area she and other helpers set up the Window Shop a café where refugee women could learn English gain work skills and help each other get acclimated to the new country The shop attracted the attention of Eleanor Roosevelt who visited and wrote about it in her famous newspaper column In 1939 and 1940 Elsa again toured Swedish communities around America Articles in Swedish-American newspapers of the time detail Elsa’s electrifying visits to their communities During part of her tour Elsa was accompanied by the famous Swedish-American poet Carl Sandburg who paid tribute to her contributions in a deeply moving poem: PRAYER AFTER WORLD WAR Elsa is the “oversea dreamer,” hunting for donations and hoarse from her many speeches traveling both north and south in her quest Sandburg emphasizes Elsa’s greatest quality The poet refers to the anvils producing airplanes for Norway let the copper and iron of America’s mines help endangered Scandinavia Elsa went to Sweden and wanted to go on to Germany to help the thousands of orphaned children but was not allowed in by the occupation authorities of the U.S caught up with her and she was diagnosed with breast cancer heroic struggle and boundless service she died in Cambridge on March 4 Her life can be summed up by the Latin phrase "Probantur tempestate fortes" — The strong are put to the test by the storm Elsa Brändström was the first of four great Swedish humanitarians who gained international prominence in the 20th century All of them were marked by their Swedish upbringing in which the Lutheran tradition of active service to people in need was pervasive All of them were crucially aided in their work by Swedish neutrality especially the international conventions that give special duties responsibilities and opportunities to neutral states These four great Swedish humanitarians all had a strong drive for self-realization All of them were faced with a transformative challenge that would change their lives forever Each one responded with what one can call a transcendent "yes," a total and unlimited commitment and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful.” Each of these four great Swedish humanitarians united the qualities of courage and love to physical stamina all inclusive devotion to a task where nothing opposes the complete fulfillment of one’s destiny but she was still remembered and honored in the first half of the 20th century She served as a model for those heroes of humanity who came after her but I will reach my goal.” And so if Raoul Wallenberg stayed in Budapest when most of the other neutral countries had left if Folke Bernadotte left Stockholm for another mediation trip to Israel risking and losing his life to seek peace in the Congo we like to think that they were conscious of and following their great model of unsparing humanitarian action but Swedish humanitarians remain inspiring models It is our duty every day to do the work of memory Not everyone can devote their whole life to humanitarian action but everyone can be a humanitarian for 15 minutes of service I was moved by the Swedish-American woman who came upon a family whose house had burned to the ground and lost everything can I get you some shoes.” Every one of us can follow Elsa Brändström Ready for dinner tonight! first night! opening night! Lucky to be one of the first people to taste the menu. #nomajapan #noma #tokyo #mandarinoriental #japan Over the past few months, there has been much speculation about what the menu would look like, especially because Redzepi is known for using obscure ingredients in avant-garde ways.The chef hinted to the Wall Street Journal in November that the menu would be kept "primarily vegetarian" but he was thinking of serving horse meat Redzepi also revealed that the dishes would make use of atypical but local ingredients like larvae from lethal hornets Ramen maestro Ivan Orkin attended the first night of the pop-up — last night — and Instagrammed his entire meal Some of the aforementioned ingredients — namely the ants — made it on to the menu alongside a labor intensive clam tart ("45 clams per tart a look at Noma Japan and its menu (so far): A photo posted by Chef Jacob Kear (@dinnerbykear) on Jan 6 View from the kitchen #nomajapan A photo posted by Rene Redzepi (@reneredzepinoma) on Jan 9 A photo posted by Chef Jacob Kear (@dinnerbykear) on Jan 9 And so it begins!
