Gunhild Maria Elisabet Tegen née Nordling, pen name Tilja, (1889–1970) was a Swedish writer, translator and peace activist. In addition to short stories and autobiographical works, in 1935 she wrote a film script titled En judisk tragedi (A Jewish Tragedy) based on the problems facing the Jews in Europe. From the beginning of World War II, Tegen was active in supporting refugees and contributing to the peace movement. In 1945, as editor of De dödsdömda vittna (Testimonial of the Condemned), she sought to present accounts collected from Jewish refugees, in particular from those detained in concentration camps.[1][2][3]
