Description: This chapter examines how the history and legacy of Polish-Swedish activist Ludwika Broel-Plater have been obscured in Swedish public discourse, in which she is recognized mainly as a passive and grateful recipient of Swedish humanitarianism. The first part of the chapter examines silences that have entered narrative constructions in Swedish public discourse about survivors who came to Sweden as repatriates in 1945 and how these have contributed to creating embedded narratives about Broel-Plater and refugees of the early postwar period more generally. Second, it begins to construct an alternative narrative that recognizes Broel-Plater’s historical significance by using her own and other neglected source material. In doing so, the chapter counters conventional narratives of survivors of Nazi persecution in Sweden as refugees and thus enhances the possibilities of understanding forced migration of the period in transnational contexts.
