| Popis: | The chapter analyses the historical experiences of Maria, a Swedish Polish Jewish Holocaust survivor born in 1926. The analysis focus on two experiences, the first that she survived the Holocaust in the Soviet Union and the second that she migrated to Sweden in 1970 owing to the antisemitic campaign in Poland. The aim is to examine how one person’s historical experiences of forced migration, displacement, survival, and integration can be understood in relation to the public historical consciousness in Sweden. The chapter also aims in the opposite direction and displays how this woman’s historical experiences can contribute to the historical consciousness. The Holocaust is central in the historical culture. Yet so are the experience of survival in the Soviet Union and the experience of the antisemitic campaign at the margins of public historical consciousness. The chapter argues for a less peripheral role for these experiences. |
