Dr. Rudberg’s post-doctoral project deals with relief and rehabilitation activities in Sweden in the wake of the Holocaust. It is particularly focused on the organization of rehabilitation of Jewish refugees and Shoah-survivors that were evacuated to Sweden at the end of the war and the immediate post-war years.
