SWEDEN'S TIES TO NAZIS CLOSER THAN THOUGHT

Study: Sweden cozied up to Nazis
Sweden cooperated with the Nazis more than previously thought, according to a Swedish investigation. Swedish pastors stopped marriages between Germans and Swedish Jews for violating the Nuremberg Laws promoting Aryan prejudices and newspapers gagged criticism of Hitler, the occupation of Norway and the murder of millions of Jews in concentration camps, Reuters reported. “We are finding new areas of collaboration which we didn’t know about,” said Stockholm University historian Klas Amark, who coordinated the study. The study was launched after a call by Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson during a Holocaust conference in Stockholm in 2000.
