The Swedes did not stay neutral during the Holocaust. They took in hundreds of Jews from Denmark to keep them from being taken by the Germans. Jews also fled to Sweden if they had the means and ways to get there prior to the war and after the war started. The Jews went anywhere they could get to if they could.

Why did Sweden remain neutral during world war 2 even tho it neighboring countries had fallen victim to the naziwar machine?
You would have to understand the many centuries of history of Sweden. They had warred with other nations and people groups for centuries. Like Switzerland, who had had fought with other nations for centuries too, they chose to be neutral before the war commenced. Both of those nations had been neutral nations for a long time. They were determined not to war again. The Swedish were neutral in "legal ways" but in reality they did help the Jews from Denmark by letting them escape to Sweden. The Swedish people hid these seven hundred plus Jews and Danes in their country. Nazis did enter Sweden for a short time but the King of Sweden kicked them out. They also took in Finns and Norwegians so Sweden did not stay truly neutral.
