We also know more today than we have before. There is now a wealth of information available about Sweden’s actions during the war. In the bibliography of my book, one can see that many important books and films have been released in the past two decades, shedding new light on this history that has been hidden or downplayed.
Ultimately, the research process reinforced for me how fragile memory can be — but also how powerful it is. The more I uncovered, the more I saw how history isn’t just something in the past. It lives in the present, shaping identities and influencing how we understand ourselves and our place in the world.
