Description:
This talk by Dr. Pontus Rudberg explores what happened to the thousands of Holocaust survivors who found themselves in Sweden after liberation. Often remembered through the iconic arrival of the “White Buses” in 1945, their longer trajectories of reception, rehabilitation, and integration have remained less visible. Rudberg shows how Jewish survivors faced the dual challenge of rebuilding shattered lives and navigating a society that could be both generous and restrictive. Survivors were housed in makeshift facilities such as former military camps, received medical care in Swedish hospitals, and were drawn into heated debates over whether they should settle permanently or prepare for re-emigration to Palestine, the United States, or elsewhere.
Central to this story are the Jewish organizations that stepped in where state institutions proved insufficient. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee helped fund relief and social workers; the World Jewish Congress lobbied Swedish authorities to ease restrictive refugee policies; Hechaluz youth groups trained young survivors for new lives in agriculture and kibbutzim in Palestine. Survivors also created their own associations, schools, and cultural activities, carving out spaces of belonging within Swedish society. By placing these experiences at the center, Rudberg challenges the common state-centered narrative and highlights the resilience, agency, and international networks that shaped Jewish life in post-war Sweden.
Pontus Rudberg is Associate Professor of History and research fellow at Södertörn University in Stockholm. His first book, The Swedish Jews and the Holocaust (2015), examined how Swedish Jews responded to Nazi persecution and refuted the widespread notion of their passivity. He is co-editor of Early Holocaust Memory in Sweden: Archives, Testimonies, Reflections (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), and has published widely on Swedish immigration and refugee policy during the Second World War as well as Scandinavian Jewish history. Rudberg is one of the editors of Scandinavian Jewish Studies and recently guest edited a special issue of Holocaust and Genocide Studies on the Holocaust in the Nordic countries.

Description:
By 1935, Hitler had been in power for two years. Instead of public displays of force, Nazi authorities now focused on systematizing violence. They did so by coopting existing institutions, concentrating power in the hands of a few, and passing laws to make their brutality appear respectable. These measures — among them the imposition of compulsory military service and the criminalization of sex and marriage between people defined as “Aryans” and “Jews” — were not as dramatic as the torchlight parades of 1933 or the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938, but they were essential steps in the Holocaust. This presentation explores the pivotal year of 1935 from multiple perspectives. We will end by watching a relevant scene from the classic movie, Judgment at Nuremberg.
Join Professor Doris Bergen from the University of Toronto in Part II of our professional development series “The Holocaust: One Year at a Time” with an in-depth examination of 1935. Doris Bergen is the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto. She is the author or editor of six books, including Between God and Hitler: Military Chaplains in Nazi Germany (2023; winner of the Yad Vashem International Book Prize); and War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust (4th edition 2024). Bergen is a member of the Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.

Description:
With The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto: The True Story of Five Courageous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising, Holocaust historian, archivist, and history blogger Elizabeth R. Hyman adds a new dimension to the story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II, shining a long overdue spotlight on five, young, Polish Jewish women who helped lead the Jewish resistance, sabotage the Nazis, and aid Jews in hiding across occupied Poland and Eastern Europe. Known as “the girls” by the leadership of the resistance and “bandits” by their Nazi oppressors—they were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers.
Hyman will be in conversation about her book with Lori R. Weintrob.
Elizabeth R. Hyman is the descendant of Polish Jews who fled Europe in 1939 and made their way, as refugees, to the United States. She earned dual master’s degrees in History and Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland-College Park, and has written the history blog, “HISTORICITY (was already taken),” since 2011. She lives in New Paltz, New York. For more, visit: https://www.instagram.com/historicity_wasalreadytaken/.
Lori R. Weintrob is a Professor of History and Director of the Holocaust Center at Wagner College, in Staten Island, NY. She has connected Holocaust survivors with over 30,000 youth of all faiths to fight antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. She has received awards for interfaith community-building, including from the Albanian-Islamic Cultural Center, the Pride Center, CANVAS and the Jewish Community Center. In 2019, she was named a Staten Island “Women of Achievement” and serves on the boards of Staten Island Women, Inc. and VISIONS. Her most recent book is entitled Heroines of the Holocaust: Reframing Courage and Resistance in Genocide (with Routledge Press, co-author Judy Tydor Baumel-Schwartz).
