Mission: The Association of Holocaust Survivors in Sweden was founded in 1992 as a reaction to denial of the Holocaust. The membership comprises survivors of Nazi persecution, as well as their children and grandchildren, who work to explain how the history of antisemitism and racism resulted in the mass murder of Jews, Roma and other minorities during the Second World War.
Purpose: To battle denial of the Holocaust, neo-Nazism, antisemitism, racism and xenophobia; to work for peaceful co-existence between minority groups in Sweden; and to protect the interests of members in contact with authorities and institutions.
Services and Offerings: The core activity of the Association focuses on education in schools, churches and various organizations. This includes: 1) the creation of a Holocaust monument, in co-operation with the Jewish Community of Stockholm and the City of Stockholm, honoring the 8,000 victims (including their names, place of birth, as well as when and where they died) whose relatives survived the war and came to live in Sweden; 2) the collection of video testimonies from witnesses and survivors whose testimonies had previously not been collected and made them public via the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation; 3) the establishment of a scholarship fund for efforts towill preserve the memory of the Shoah; and 4) co-operating in the development of the Swedish Museum of the Holocaust that was inaugurated in June 2022.
