      Antisemitismen försvagades i Sverige decennierna efter andra världskriget. [...] Antisemitiska föreställningar levde vidare inom delar av befolkningen, men judefientliga uttryck i offentligheten blev mer sällsynta och allt mindre accepterade.
      Anti-Semitism weakened in Sweden in the decades after World War II. Anti-Semitic sentiments continued to exist within parts of the population, but anti-Jewish expressions in the public sphere became rarer, and increasingly less accepted.
