Öreryd (in Swedish pronounced as /ˈœ̂rːɛˌryːd/)[1] is a village and parish in Småland, Sweden, in the county of Jönköping. During World War II, Öreryd hosted a refugee camp and transit center for refugees fleeing Nazi persecution in occupied Norway, from March 1941 until June 1942, when it was replaced by the camp Kjesäter.[2] [3] From 1944 Öreryd was one of the approved training sites for the Norwegian police troops in Sweden.[4] [5]
