Lost Voices

The Northern Jewish Cemetery in Stockholm is home to row upon row of small, simple tombstones. These are the graves of the Jews who survived the Holocaust and came to Sweden after the end of the Second World War in 1945, but who died here shortly after their arrival. Who were they, and what can be told about their lives?
