Swedish village of Molkom known for Nazi founding and Covid superspreader festival

Original: Molkom (pop. 1900) is a village in Värmland, western Sweden. Two facts for your consideration. * In 1924, the first Swed

Molkom, a village of about 1,900 people in Värmland, western Sweden, carries two notable claims to fame. The first Swedish Nazi party was founded there in 1924. Nearly a century later, in July 2021, a tantric festival held in the village became a Covid-19 superspreader event, with roughly 100 of around 500 attendees infected.
