| The Swedish Holocaust Museum - So many mistakes in one single description - Sveriges museum om Förintelsen. |
The Swedish Holocaust Museum (Sveriges Museum om Förintelsen) is a historical museum located in Stockholm, Sweden. They also have an internet page. I opened it today (May 16, 2023) and found directly numerous mistakes. I looked particularly at Z-4517 - Hanna Brzezinska. Her name is misspelled, both at the museum, in printed material, and in the digital version on the internet.
What is not correct?
The truth - Information and documents from the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association - SHMA (Förening Förintelsens Minne - FFM) and Roman Wasserman Wroblewski, Ph.D. This particular information was on the internet from December 1, 2021, and in reportage made by Swedish State Television in 2022. Start looking at the evidence there at 8 min. It is remarkable that the Swedish Television (SVT) research team can find the right information (and me) while the Swedish Holocaust Museum in Stockholm is producing misinformation two years after I presented correct data from the Research Group of the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association - SHMA.
- To start with Swedish Holocaust Museum misspelled her name - Brzezinska is the right spelling. It appears on several documents filled by her, among others the Swedish Entry Card.
- Thereafter, the Swedish Holocaust Museum wrote that she came to Sweden from Ravensbrück, wrong again! She came from Beendorf camp through Hamburg.
- The next misinformation was that she came from the camp with ambulances - White buses. Wrong again. She arrived in Sweden from Padborg on May 3rd, 1945. To Padborg she arrived by train. The last White bus, actually from Ravensbrück arrived in Sweden on April 28, 1945.
- The photo that the Swedish Holocaust Museum shows as the background in the information about Hanna and Zofia Brzezinska shows so-called fake White buses that have never been to Germany during the White Bus mission. The buses in the photo are local buses from Göteborg and Malmö and so are the drivers. Why they were painted in this way is not known. Propaganda?
- So is also the information on "Header photo: Count Folke Bernadotte’s White Buses arriving in Malmö. (Cropped.) Photo: K. W. Gullers, Nordiska museet (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)" is not correct. Few of the "Local White Buses" were used to pick up former concentration camp inmates from the Danish ferries but had never been on German soil. Most probably Brzezinska came to Padborg, Denmark with the so-called Spoke train.
- Hanna´s cousin's name was Zofia.

HANNA DIMITRI (NÉE BREZINSKA)
The final labor camp in which Hanna was held was Ravensbrück. One day, white ambulances arrived at the camp and the prisoners were informed that the war was over. This was the Swedish Red Cross operation the White Buses. Hanna and her cousin Sofia arrived in Sweden on the White Buses in Spring 1945, survivors of the genocide of the Roma. They were two of the few Roma who entered Sweden at the end of the war, as the country maintained a ban on non-Swedish Roma entering the country until 1954.

Hanna Brzezinska (She writes it Brzezińska) was born on May 1, 1931. In 1939, the Second World War broke out. The German army entered Poland in just a few days. Hanna's family was executed by German soldiers, and only Hanna and her little sister Anita were allowed to live. They were taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Hanna had to live as a slave laborer while her five-year-old little sister Anita was murdered in Auschwitz. Hanna got the prisoner number Z-4517 tattooed on her arm. From Auschwitz, she was transferred to various camps for six years. At the end of the war, Hanna was 14 years old and worked in a factory located in the salt mine, making parts for German attack aircraft and V-1 and V-2 rockets. The entire camp was evacuated one day in cattle cars. They were driven around on the same train for 12 days. Finally, the train arrived in Hamburg. There were thousands of prisoners on the train and almost no food. From Hamburg, on the day of Hitler's death on April 30, the train started again in the narrow strip of land that remained of Nazi Germany. Finally, the train drove north. On May 2, the train arrived at the station in Padborg, where the Danish Red Cross took care of almost 3,000 women who were on the train. In the coming days, the women were taken on to Copenhagen. This time with passenger trains and buses.

Swedish car and bus license plates
Swedish car and bus license plates before the year 1971 started usually with one or two letters indicating the geographical area. The license plates were white and the letters and numbers (after the letters) were black. Military vehicles had just yellow numbers on a black background, no letters! Observe, that none of the buses shown below was in the White bus expedition on German soil.
It is likely that The Swedish Holocaust Museum (Sveriges Museum om Förintelsen) dislikes using the information (the truth) published by the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association. Typical discrimination. Although the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association published several books about "Swedish survivors", none of the books are mentioned by the Swedish Holocaust Museum (Sveriges Museum om Förintelsen). Not even a special home page in Swedish De Befriade 1945 (The Liberated 1945) is mentioned by the Swedish Holocaust Museum. Sad story as the Holocaust museum in Sweden is not a private museum but a governmental one.

Military vehicles used in the White Bus mission that ended on April 28, 1945, had yellow numbers on a black background, no letters! None of the buses shown above was in the White bus expedition on German soil. The bus on the far right has bus license plates from Malmoe (Malmö) starting with O. |
