The Association of Holocaust Survivors in Sweden is a nationwide organisation that was founded in 1992 as a reaction to denial of the Holocaust. The membership comprises survivors of Nazi persecution, as well as their children.

Our aims: to battle denial of the Holocaust, neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism racism and xenophobia to work for peaceful co-existence between minority groups in Sweden to protect the interests of members in contact with authorities and institutions The core activity of the Association focuses on education in schools. The members, many of whom are living witnesses to the horrors of the Holocaust, work to explain how the history of anti-Semitism and racism resulted in the mass murder of Jews, Gypsies and other minorities during the Second World War. Meetings conclude with questions and a general discussion about racism, neo-Nazism and xenophobia today. The Association, in co-operation with the Jewish Community of Stockholm, has erected a Holocaust Monument. The memorial honours the names of 8,000 victims whose relatives survived the war and came to live in Sweden. The monument also states the date and place of birth of each individual, as well as when and where they died. The Association has produced videoed interviews with survivors. In addition to this, the Association has also helped to compile textbooks and teacher’s guides. During the last two years, the Association has supported and assisted survivors with restitution applications. Join us in our struggle against denial of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism, intolerance and racism!
