The man hit by Danielsson was identified as Seppo Seluska, a militant from the Nordic Realm Party later convicted for the torture and murder of a gay Jew.
Runesson’s photograph was published the next day on the front page of the Swedish national newspaper Dagens Nyheter, and on April 15 by two British newspapers, The Times and The Daily Express.[3] Another photograph taken by Runesson during the event shows the 10 Neo-Nazis being chased, pelted with eggs and violently confronted by a crowd made up of hundreds of attendants of the left-wing rally joined by local Växjö residents. One of the Neo-Nazis was kicked unconscious on the ground, then saved by one of the protestors who reportedly took pity on him. The far-right activists eventually managed to shelter in the toilets of the city’s train station, hiding there for a few hours until the police transported them away.[3][5]
I think hitting them with a purse, throwing eggs and making them hide in toilets is fine, but the unconscious thing isn’t something I would recommend. They probably already have brain damage, they’re nazis.
B-but it’s literally Nazism to refuse to tolerate Nazis!!!1! (Never mind the fact that tolerance would be the thirst thing to go in a Nazi-dominated society.)
I’m happy to hear that the statu finally was put up. There was so much debate and arguments about it, mostly about it encouraging violence especially if taken out of context and also her still living family being unhappy with the portraition of her.
I remember the debates but I never actually heard how it ended.
She got honoured with a monument in Alingsås for exactly this. There is also an Wikipedia article about this incidence.
Of course he did.
The statue is awesome, but it fails to capture the hatred and aggression in the photo.
Yeah I was going to say, the statue didn’t capture her facial expression.
The left was different there
Back then Nazis were nearly universally understood as bad. Especially since there still were many living survivors of the Nazi’s genocide.
If this happened today, the left would get endless criticism. But I fully agree we should bring this back.

You do not understand the assignment
They understood how talking to nazis needs to be done.

She easily looks 5-10 years older than my wife and I. And we’re in our mid 40s. But that still wouldn’t make her an old lady at this point.
The statue is titled, “The Old Woman with the Handbag”.
The woman in the picture was 38 when it was taken. The artist made her look older for some reason.
I think it’s just time doing its thing. The artist probably saw her as old because she dressed like an old person dressed in 2015.
I don’t think she was particularly youthful-looking in 1985 either tbh.
Probably not, no, but I can’t see what else lead to the name. The artist must just have assumed due to clothing and style.
