Scope and Content
E11 contains records concerning different forms of aid for Danish refugees between 1943 and 1946. All of the records are in either Danish or Swedish. The records are accounts of different forms of relief for Jewish refugees from Denmark, including descriptions of the Danish school in Gothenburg and accounts of how Danish Jewish students were aided in finishing their higher education while in exile in Sweden. There are also descriptions of how the different forms of aid changed over time. These descriptions also state that E. M. Weis was appointed manager of refugee aid. Other board members were Mr. Schytt, Consul General Julius Hüttner, Superintendent Uno Hernroth, and Mr. Ture Andersson of the Norden Association (Föreningen Norden). The Swedish historian Curt Weibull was also part of the local board for Danish refugee aid. The relief work was coordinated from the former hotel Göta Källare in Gothenburg.
