Karin Kvist Geverts

Published by Humanity in Action in 2013, "Civil Society and the Holocaust: International Perspectives on Resistance and Rescue" examines the different ways that European countries and the United States responded to the Holocaust. Karin Kvist Geverts examines the Swedish case.

In 2013, Humanity in Action Denmark held a conference in Copenhagen to mark the 70th anniversary of the flight and rescue of Danish Jewry. This book was published in association with the “October 1943” conference. The anthology examines how European societies dealt with the knowledge of the Nazi persecution of Jews in very different ways before, during and after the Holocaust.
