Holocaust and WWII traces are found at cemeteries in Stockholm and at Jewish and Christian cemeteries in many other cities of this country.
There are numerous graves from former prisoners from concentration camps that came to Sweden after WWII and Holocaust ended with UNRRAs White Boats or at the and of April and beginning of May 1945 with White buses and White (Spoke) trains. In Sweden Holocaust survivors received medical care but numerous died almost directly during 1945-1946, many as young as 13-14 years. This type of graves are at many places in Sweden where former camp prisoners received medical treatment, among others Malmö, Gothenburg, Kalmar, Örebro, Norrköping, Stockholm and also at the island Gotland.
The evacuations known as "White buses action" started on March 15, 1945, just 7 weeks before WWII officially ended. The first trips of the buses were, however, aimed for Nazi wives and children (approx. 1500) and first thereafter for non-Jewish, Scandinavian inmates of the concentration camps.

The book 6 TUSEN AV 6 MILJONER: ETT REQUIEM by Romuald Wróblewski et. al. includes a register of 6,000 Jews who perished during the Holocaust (p. 67-166). The bok was published by Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association (SHMA) in 1995 - 50 years after the end of the Holocaust and liberation of camps, a.o. Bergen-Belsen.
The names listed in the bok were aimed Holocaust Mounument. The names are the relatives of Holocaust survivors living in Sweden.
This particular list was gathered by Roman Wasserman Wroblewski during 1994-1995 and includes 6,000 names of Holocaust victims. Holocaust survivors and their families, now living in Sweden provided testimony to compile the list. The list includes the name, birth year, birth place, death year, death place, and the name of the group or individual who submitted the entry (eg Holocaust survivor or Second Generation). The names come from Holocaust survivors born throughout Europe. The only connecting feature of the 6000 is that their names were provided by individuals residing in Sweden as of 1995. The resulting listing of Holocaust victims was first prepared in electronic form, published in this book, and was thereafter inscribed on the Stockholm Holocaust Name Monument (memorial) itself.
Besides this list provided by survivors, the book includes a register of Jewish refugees who died in Sweden in 1945-1946 and the list of Jewish refugees who died while being transported to Sweden or shortly after arrival. The lists were obtained from Red Cross and other organisations like World Jewish Congress. All refugees that came with White boats and White buses must be regarded as Holocaust victims.
Holocaust survivors that are listed in above publication were from 12 countries in Europe and there are several with "unknown nationality", and/or "unknown country of origin".
