Priest Hans Ucko lost his Swedish citizenship

Hans Ucko, 80, born in Sweden and a priest in the Church of Sweden, has lost his Swedish citizenship without knowing it. He accepted German citizenship as reparation for Nazi crimes against his father.

Hans Ucko says Sweden is doing the same to him as Germany did to his father. He was born in Sweden and has served as a priest in the Church of Sweden.

The German citizenship was granted as reparation for Nazi crimes. Without his knowledge, this led to the loss of his Swedish citizenship.

Helle Klein describes the decision as a repressive and inhuman maneuver in a commentary published the same day.
