Item Transformation of memory policy in Sweden(ДВНЗ «Київський національний економічний університет імені Вадима Гетьмана», 2017) Lakishyk, D. M.; Лакішик, Д. М.The consolidation potential of memory policy in Sweden which passed its own way in the process of accepting events of the Second world war is analyzed. The focus is made on memorials, museums and exhibitions which are the important source for commemorating the events of the War and the Holocaust. It is also evidence of importance of these events for the history of Sweden. The article is devoted to the study of memory policy both in Sweden and in Europe which is implemented through museums, exhibitions and monuments. These objects of heritage are open to the public and play an important role in shaping the collective identity. In Sweden, there is a very tangible reflection of the changes in the policy of memory in relation with the Second World War in pan-European discourse. At the beginning of the 21st century a large array of publications came out in Europe, in which large groups of the European population were accused of crimes of the occupation regime, and not just individual criminals or institutions. Instead Sweden is characterized by a denial of collective guilt, as well as a model of historical memory of a liberal type. Today the perception of Sweden’s role in war is reinterpreted in the country in a new way: not as an innocent observer, but as a country that did nothing to stop the Nazi crimes during the war.
