Two thousand refugees from Germany have been admitted to Sweden in the last two months, Justice Minister K.G. Westman revealed in the Riksdag. A majority, he said, were German Jews, mostly parents of Swedish residents, and persons admitted temporarily pending their emigration to overseas countries. Half of the admissions, the J.T.A. learned, were secured by the Swedish Jewish Community.
