Halina Neujahrs arkiv

The archive was created in 2007 and covers the period around 1930 until Halina Neujahr died in 2006. The archive primarily contains documents relating Halina Neujahr's own experiences from the Warsaw ghetto and her time in Sweden in the form of lectures and newspaper articles, as well as the documentary film _In Memoriam_ with Halina Neujahr, in which she talks about her life in the Warsaw ghetto and her transfer to a concentration camp. Centralfilm produced the documentary for the Association of Holocaust Survivors. The archive also contains newspaper articles, audio tapes, videotapes, and photographs from Neujahr's early days in Sweden. Halina Neujahr was born in Warsaw on October 24, 1924, and died in Stockholm on July 24, 2006. She was a Polish-Swedish Holocaust survivor, biochemist, and professor. During the Second World War, the Nazi regime incarcerated the Neujahr family in the Warsaw Ghetto, where she participated in illegal education. Halina Neujahr, her mother, and her sister were later taken to the Majdanek concentration camp, where her mother was killed. The Neujahr sisters were successively transferred to the Skarzysko, Ravensbrück, and Bergen-Belsen camps. They were liberated by British troops in 1945, but Halina's sister died shortly afterward. Neujahr came to Sweden on a Red Cross ship. In 1948, she began studying chemical engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). She became a civil engineer and later a doctor of technology in biochemistry. From 1960, Neujahr was an associate professor at KTH for many years and was appointed professor just before her retirement. Even after retirement, she remained active as a researcher. Neujahr lectured about the Holocaust in schools. She was also active on the board of the _Föreningen Förintelsens Överlevande i Sverige_ and the _Föreningen Förintelsens Minne_. An index can be found in the Nordiska Museet archive.
