Otto Ullman, a Jewish boy, was sent from Austria to Sweden right before the outbreak of World War II. There he became best friends with Ingvar Kamprad, who would grow up to become the founder of IKEA. Despite the huge Swedish resistance to Jews, the thirteen-year-old Otto was granted permission to enter Sweden--all in accordance with the Swedish archbishop's secret plan to save Jews on condition that they converted to Christianity. Otto found work as a farmhand at the Kamprad family's farm Elmtaryd in Agunnaryd in the province of Småland. Ingvar and Otto became very close friends. But at the same time, Ingvar Kamprad was actively engaged in Nazi organizations and a great supporter of the fascist Per Engdahl. Otto's parents were trapped in Vienna, and the last letters he received were sent from Theresienstadt. With thorough research, including personal files initiated by the predecessor to today's Swedish Security Service (SaPO) and more than 500 letters, Elisabeth Åsbrink illustrates how Swedish society was infused with anti-Semitism and how families are shattered by war and asylum politics"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 415-419). 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Ullmann, Otto, |d1925-2005. 650 0 Jewish refugees |zSweden |vBiography. 650 7 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Holocaust. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Scandinavia. |2bisacsh 600 17 Ullmann, Otto, |d1925-2005. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01946831 650 7 Jewish refugees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01730523 651 7 Sweden. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204537 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 700 1 Vogel, Saskia, |etranslator. 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS135.S89 |iU45313 2020 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS135.S89 |iU45313 2020 |tc.2
