BOOKS
Finland and the Holocaust by Dr. Hannu Rautkallio, executive director of the Foundation for Higher Education and Science Policy in Helsinki
The Stones Cry Out, a study of Sweden and the Jews during World War II, by Professor Steven Koblik, now president of Reed College
Norway's Response to the Holocaust by Samuel Abrahamsen, former chairman of the Department of Judaic Studies at Brooklyn College


The Foundation has funded the translation and publication of Passage to Palestine: Young Jews in Denmark, 1932-1945, by Jorgen Haestrup, a well-known authority on Danish and other European resistance movements.

Thanks To Scandinavia has also funded the republication of Leni Yahil’s The Rescue of Danish Jewry, Philip Friedman’s Their Brothers’ Keepers, and Aage Bertelsen’s October '43.

We continue to encourage American programs on history and Holocaust studies to incorporate these books on the rescue of Scandinavian Jewry, and information on the rescue of Bulgarian Jews, into their curricula. Copies will be made available to libraries and to individuals who request them through Thanks To Scandinavia. Books can also be purchased at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

In 2003, TTS and the University of Wisconsin Press published a collection of translated poems by Norway's beloved nineteenth-century poet Henrik Wergeland, a passionate voice on behalf of justice and enlightenment who successfully advocated the legalization of Jewish immigration. The publication of the anthology The Army of Truth coincides with an exhibit on the history of Norwegian Jews that will tour the United States.
