Kristin Ehnmark
Kristin Ehnmark is best known for her harrowing experience as a hostage during the 1973 Kreditbanken heist in Stockholm, where she, along with several others, was taken captive by armed robbers Clark Olofsson and Jan-Erik Olsson. Her behavior during the six-day standoff, including her emotional connection to her captors, led to the identification of what is now known as the Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon where hostages develop feelings of affection for their captors. Ehnmark's story has sparked extensive discussion about trauma, survival, and the complexities of human behavior in extreme situations.
