During 1933–39, some 3,000 Jews migrated to Sweden to escape persecution in Nazi Germany. Sweden was neutral during World War II, and due to this it became a place of asylum for Jews from occupied Europe. It is suggested that the reason for anti-semitism in its contemporary context is the mass migration of Muslims who have brought anti-Jewish attitudes from their countries of origin to Sweden. This anti-semitism can be seen in sporting, political and social acts, even in the post 2000 era. History Early history of Jews in Sweden Jews have been permitted to re ...

History Of The Jews In Norway
The history of Jews in Norway dates back to the 1400s. Although there were very likely Jewish merchants, sailors and others who entered Norway during the Middle Ages, no efforts were made to establish a Jewish community. Through the early modern period, Norway, still devastated by the Black Death, was ruled by Denmark from 1536 to 1814 and then by Sweden until 1905. In 1687, Christian V rescinded all Jewish privileges, specifically banning Jews from Norway, except with a special dispensation. Jews found in the kingdom were jailed and expelled, and this ban persisted until 1851. In 1814, when Norway gained independence from Denmark, the general ban against Jews entering the country was "continued" in the new Norwegian Constitution. Sephardim were exempt from the ban, but it appears that few applied for a letter of free passage. After tireless efforts by the poet Henrik Wergeland, politician Peder Jensen Fauchald, school principal Hans Holmboe and others, in 1851 the Norweg ...
