Maciej Zaremba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maciej Zaremba Bielawski (born 12 March 1951) is a Swedish journalist and author.
Zaremba was born in Poznań, Poland. He came to Sweden in 1969 where he worked as a construction worker during the 1970s. In his youth he was active in the League Communist (Swedish: Förbundet Kommunist), but abandoned his communist views when the group was dissolved in 1982. He earned a B.A. in the history of ideas from Stockholm University in 1988. He started writing for the newspaper Dagens Nyheter in 1989 and in 1994 he was recruited to the editorial team of the now defunct magazine Moderna Tider.
In 1997, Zaremba becamem famous after he wrote a series of articles in Dagens Nyheter about the compulsory sterilization program active in Sweden from the mid 1930s until the mid 1970s. The article sparked much debate in Sweden and led to a government inquiry into the matter.
In 2005 he wrote a series of articles about a labor dispute involving foreign construction workers in Vaxholm. For these articles he was awarded with Stora Journalistpriset ("Great Journalist Award") and Hasse Olssons pris till årets ekonomijournalist ("Hasse Olsson's Award for Business Journalist of the Year") in 2006. In 2005 he also received Gösta Bohman-stipendiet ("Gösta Bohman Award) and a prize from the Swedish Academy through its own funds.
Zaremba is married since 1982 to the author Agneta Pleijel.
