Survivors of Nazi Persecution, Refugees, Knowledge Actors
This article studies how Jewish and non-Jewish Polish survivors of Nazi persecution arriving in Sweden in 1945 as repatriates and associated with PIZ were knowledge actors who, along with Bolin and Łakociński, were part of a cultural translation of knowledge. I argue that driven by a dedication to gathering evidence and testimonies from other survivors for the sake of history and justice, t he survivors not only brought knowledge of persecution and suffering under theNazis to the PIZ initiative but also knowledge of scholarly and popular methods developed in Eastern Europe before and during the Second World War.
