Description

Up until 1943, around 8,000 Jewish people lived in Sweden. Sweden's neutrality meant that they could not be touched by the Nazis. In October 1943 around 7,000 Jews were rescued from Denmark and taken to Sweden. The efforts to save foreign Jews were primarily the result of private initiatives, particularly from the Jewish community in Sweden. The Jewish community has also played a central role in commemorating the Holocaust
