The Swedish police, when raiding the headquarters of a pro-Nazi organization here, discovered a list containing the names of 1,648 prominent Swedish Jews marked by the Nazis as “dangerous anti-Nazi elements,” it is revealed today. Chief Rabbi Ehrenpreis and a number of well-known Jewish refugees from Germany are included in the list.
Conducting further inquiries, the police authorities established that a copy of the list had been sent to Berlin some time ago by the leaders of the Nazi organization. The Swedish press was ordered by the authorities not to mention discovery of this list, but the news spread quickly throughout Stockholm creating a painful impression in Swedish democratic circles.
