Citation from the Nils Klim Prize Academic Committee:

Johan Östling, born 1978, is a postdoctorate researcher at the Department of History at Lund University. His research interests include Swedish, German and European modern history. His doctoral thesis "Nazismens sensmoral. Svenska erfarenheter i andra världskrigets efterdyning", defended in Lund 2008, presents a solidly grounded, innovative analysis of how the Nazi régime and the atrocities committed in the name of Germany influenced the Swedish public in the early post-war years. The "Nazi experience" caused an intellectual earthquake in Sweden and lead to a profound intellectual reorientation, away from German culture and towards the Anglo-Saxon world.

The Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund awards the Nils Klim prize to a young Nordic researcher in the academic fields of the arts and humanities, social sciences, law and theology. The prize winner must be under 35 years of age on the final date for nominations.
