Book
Otto Ullman, a Jewish boy, was sent from Austria to Sweden right before the outbreak of World War II. There he became best friends with Ingvar Kamprad, who would grow up to become the founder of IKEA. Despite the huge Swedish resistance to Jews, the 13-year-old Otto was granted permission to enter Sweden - all in accordance with the Swedish archbishop's secret plan to save Jews on condition that they converted to Christianity.
