Slægten Sucksdorff

Sucksdorff slægten stammer fra Tyskland og har siden spredt sig til Danmark, Finland og Sverige. Slægten kom til Danmark da min oldefar flyttede fra Sverige til Helsingør. Den mest kendte er nok fotografen og filmmanden Arne Sucksdorff. Dette kan blev skrevet da han døde:

"Oscar-winning director Arne Sucksdorff has died, according to the Associated Press yesterday. Sucksdorff, considered "the father of Swedish documentaries," won the award for best short subject for his 1949 doc, "Rhythms of a City," which is about his hometown of Stockholm. Mr. Sucksdorff lived in Brazil for almost 30 years teaching documentary filmmaking for UNESCO and worked on behalf of poor children. His film, "My Home is Copacabana" exposed the deplorable living conditions children lived in. He returned to Sweden in the 1990s where he lived until his death in a Stockholm hospital on Friday".
