I was also very surprised how much Sweden cooperated with the Nazi. The information was
things I find out about Sweden.
"Nazi-Germany wanted to threw Jews to somewhere, but not to Sweden neither to Switzerland. Why? What arguments Sweden and Switzerland had in hands when they urged 10 times bigger Germany to use J-stamp - and keep Jews in Germany?
However, when it came to trade with the Nazi regime, the Swedes, for a period of time, accommodated themselves to the Reich to an even greater extent than the Swiss did. The Swedish economy was, for a number of years, almost fully integrated into the Nazis' New Order; the country supplied Germany with high-grade iron ore (30 percent of that used by the German armaments industry), as well as ball bearings, foodstuffs, wood, and many other raw materials. In matters of finance, the Swedes cooperated with Germany by providing credit, which allowed the delivery of vast quantities of military equipment to the Wehrmacht. Moreover, after the war, the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank, "examined gold it had received from the Nazis in payment for exports and returned about 13 tons that presumably had been stolen [from] Belgium and the Netherlands."24
The Swedes believed, at least for the first years of the war, that cooperation with Germany was necessary to preserve a precarious neutrality. But after 1943 the Swedish government, heeding Allied warnings about neutrals doing business with Germany, detached the country from the German "political and commercial web," and gradually established closer ties with the Allies.25 There is no doubt that for several years Sweden put its considerable economic resources at the disposal of the Reich; but its behavior in the latter stages of the war removed much of the stigma of collaboration."

Read the article below and I was surprised

The Jewish people are one of the most respected and helpful people in the world. I was surprised when I read that Sweden went along with putting the J in the passport a long time ago which was harmful for them.
Also some Jewish wear a Beanie cap in Sweden was not good. Where people that were Jewish People in the United States the Arabic people and both go into each other area some with special clothing and nothing happens , but in Sweden they are. I have seen people hid their Beanies and change and now I know why.
Since a few people were involved in that I do not what or who in involved in doing what they have done to me.
