Joanna Rubin Dranger's new book, "Dolda judiska liv" (Hidden Jewish Lives), sheds light on the silent struggles of Swedish Jews.
Inspired by an anonymous email, the book reveals stories of individuals who have hidden their Jewish identity due to the pervasive strength of antisemitism in Sweden.
This silence is echoed by many, as fear and discrimination persist.
Recent events, including a foiled murder plot targeting Jewish leaders and attacks on the Israeli embassy, have further highlighted the challenges faced by the Jewish community.
Aron Verständig, head of the Jewish Central Council, describes the past year as traumatic, with rising antisemitism leaving many feeling isolated from both society and global politics.
