Göran Elgemyr

Carl Göran Elgemyr (born 1939) is a Swedish radio producer, radio historian and author. He received his Bachelor of Arts in 1970, and an honorary doctorate from Stockholm University in 2015. In 1971 he was employed as a researcher at the press archive at Sveriges Radio (SR). From 1975 to 2000 he was a radio producer and reporter at Swedish Radio, where he has made programs on contemporary Swedish and Nordic history, especially World War II.

Together with former ambassador Sven Fredrik Hedin, Elgemyr was honored with the Guldspaden, a Swedish journalistic award for investigative journalism, in 1998. The two received the prestigious award for their programs about Swedish collaboration with Germany during World War II in the resale of German gold from central banks in occupied countries, so-called Nazi gold. Neutral Switzerland made similarly questionable purchases.

In 2015, Elgemyr published the book ''Kai Holsts mystiska död'' (The Mysterious Death of Kai Holst) by Jure Publishing. It dealt with the Norwegian resistance fighter Kai Holst, who was found dead in Stockholm in June 1945. The book was based on Elgemyr's two radio programs from 1992, but was greatly expanded with archival material and various investigations into the background to the death. Provided by Wikipedia
