Among other records, the Civil Defense Section's archive contains documentation concerning Holocaust refugees, around 1941-1949.

The series Ö I: a Registerkort över flyktingar inkomna til landet contains 29 boxes with more than 20,000 register cards of refugees and survivors from concentration camps, who came to Sweden from 1944 to 1946. The cards include their name, date of birth, place of residence, nationality, date of arrival and the name of the reception center where they were received, and sometimes information on transfers. On some cards there is a note if the person was Jewish, in the form of "M", "Mosaic" or "Jew". The register cards were filled out based on information assembled at refugee centers in southern Sweden and later collated at the County Administrative Board of Malmöhus County.

In Ö I: b Fotografier av flyktingar inkomna till landet there are also 16 card boxes with photographs and other documents relating to refugees.

One volume in the Series Ö I c _ Övriga liggare och register rörande flyktingar_, includes the published List of Jews who have arrived in Sweden May 1st--June 25th 1945. The list can also be found in the National Library in Stockholm as well as in a few other archives in Sweden.
