The Stones Cry Out: Sweden’s Response to the Persecution of the Jews, 1933–1945

Author: Steven Koblik

As a neutral country during World War II, Sweden was able to take in Jewish immigrants and refugees from other European countries. Thousands of Jews from Denmark, Norway, and the Baltic countries found a haven in Sweden. Swedish protective passes and the work of Swedish diplomats—most notably Raoul Wallenberg—saved many thousands of lives. 

In addition to these efforts, over 20,000 Holocaust survivors were taken from concentration camps and brought to Sweden in March and April of 1945.
