    Abstract: As a consequence of Sweden’s status as a non-belligerent country during World War II and the continuous growth of its welfare state thereafter, the concept of a “People’s Home” and a “provisional Utopia,” a social support system characterized by equality and material prosperity, were central aspects of the country’s postwar policy. This article focuses on the ideological and political stance of the Social Democratic politician and Prime Minister Tage Erlander and other Swedish left-wingers who played a crucial role in promoting these notions of postwar reality. In discussing their attitudes towards Jews as well as different interpretations of World War II among Social Democrats, Communists, and radicals, the article aims to shed light on how postwar Swedish political actors responded to the Holocaust.
