Birthplace of Stockholm

This building is the birthplace of Stockholm

Syndrome! 🤓 For those not familiar with the term,

a robbery and hostage situation took place here in

1973 when it was a bank. Surprisingly,

the hostages developed a psychological allegiance with

their captors, viewing them in a positive light,

refusing to condemn their actions and even going

as far as raising money afterwards to pay for

their criminal defense lawyer and also refusing to

testify against the men in court. Nils Bejerot,

a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist, dubbed

this phenomena "Norrmalmstorg Syndrome"

(named after the street where it occurred) now better

known as Stockholm Syndrome! — at Norrmalmstorg.
