- One way to analyze the twists and turns in Swedish history politics regarding the Second World War and its legacy is to turn to a typol-ogy of uses of history. Despite differences in occupations, places, and times, uses of history are often joined together by certainneeds and functions that certain choices of history can provide. In this pa-per, I discuss how the images of the Second World War and the Holo-causthave changed due to the dominance of different uses of history. The Swedish history culture has gone from a combination of school-arly and ideological use of history, based on the concept of small-state realism, via a moral use of history, characterized by critical challenges of the former dominating narrative, to a renewed ideo-logical use of history with moralistic undertones.
