Description
This article addresses a number of questions: How many Jewish refugees entered Sweden in the late 1930s and what happened to them? What were their experiences of the Swedish labour market? What kind of reactions did the refugees encounter and provoke in Sweden? The article also considers why the Swedes have taken so long to begin discussing their bystander role, behaviour and attitudes towards the Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.
