Trots allt! (Swedish: Despite everything!) was a weekly socialist newspaper which existed between 1939 and 1945 in Stockholm, Sweden. The paper is known for its anti-Nazi stance and its founder and editor Ture Nerman. Due to its fierce criticism against Nazism the paper was subject to bans and censorship. Its title was a reference to the text by Karl Liebknecht entitled Trotz alledem!.[1]
Trots allt! was launched by a group of Swedish liberals and socialists, including Ture Nerman, in Fall 1939.[2] [3] The editor of the paper was Ture Nerman. It came out weekly.[4] An Austrian Jew Kurt Singer served as its coeditor.[5] Polish lawyer Stanisław Adamek who had exiled to Sweden was one of the contributors.[6]
The paper openly opposed the Nazi regime and the Swedish government's departure from the policy of neutrality[3] [7] and contained the materials for the Soviet propaganda.[6] Between April 1940 and January 1941 the distribution of Trots allt! was halted by the government.[7] In early 1942 the paper was also banned when it published a document, Black Book of the Government of Poland, by the Ministry of Information and Documentation of Poland.[6] Its issues dated 10 November 1942 and 3 March 1943 were also confiscated by the state authorities.[6] The paper folded in 1945.[8]
