Einar Åberg was born on April 20, 1890, in
Gothenburg, he died on October 6, 1970, in
Sollentuna. Åberg became anti-Semitic in 1922 and figured in many different anti-Jewish and
Swedish Nazi associations and parties, but never being a member of them. He had international contacts, including the
Ku Klux Klan and
Savitri Devi, who was also openly Nazi and active in Europe's post-war Nazi and Fascist networks and the two met at least once. In October 1941, Åberg bought a bookstore, on which he covered the shop window with an infamous sign saying: "Jews and half-Jews not allowed here". This caused upset reactions among locals, and fights and brawls broke out several times outside the shop. Åberg was sentenced to fines for aggravated behavior and was ordered to take down the sign. He then merely changed the sign to one saying: "only Swedes allowed". Between 1941 and 1945 he was sentenced on nine occasions to fines for his anti-Semitic agitation. He wandered the streets with a
sandwich board accusing the Jews of being the cause of
World War II, this led to him getting into several fights on the streets with anti-racist locals again. When the
Holocaust became widely known in the
aftermath of WWII, Åberg was one of the first living persons to
deny it had happened, he continued to pursue this conspiracy theory long after the war ended. ==References==
