Liberated from Nazi persecution, women who came to Sweden as refugees in the 1940s were actively engaged in rebuilding their lives, helping themselves and others in the process. Nonetheless, they are typically portrayed as marginal figures in narratives of Swedish society and history. My research contributes to illuminating the significant and important roles these women played in post-war Sweden.
