Sweden does the best statues 😀
In the USA there are so many statues of confederacy 'heroes' you would think that those slave system enablers had actually won the civil war. In the UK statues and street names abound of people who upheld and benefited from the slave trade. In Belgium huge statutes of Leopold, who is one of the most evil of racists that has ever lived, with a legacy that still impacts on the people of the Congo to this day, are problematic to say the least.
Our power structures are so white supremacist lauding people who literally killed millions of black people is still a thing. Not in Sweden though - while as countries we venerate a more than shoddy empire past, Sweden gets its nazi punching priorities straight when it comes to statues!!
In Sweden they have statues to commemorate the day when Danuta Danielsson, a Jewish housewife whose mother survived a concentration camp in WW2, hit a marching neo-Nazi on the head with her handbag in the town of Växjö. Now that's a statue we can applaud!
BOOM!

did "rollover" in WW 2 by closing the Swedish Railroad for four days while Nazi troops were transported to occupied Norway!
Long story involving the then King and a gay German Embassy employee.
