Refugee camp in Sweden WWII - a photo on Flickriver

Refugee camp in Sweden WWII

            I found a little album in my uncle's (James Waldemar Stenberg) belongings. During a period of time he lived  together with two sisters. One was Emma Johansson and she appears on the second photo in the set this photo belongs to. They never told me very much about their lives, but this little album unveals that Emma worked in a refugee camp during the Second World War. It is possible to see a box on one photo with the text Kooperativa Bredaryd. That is pretty close to were he and the sisters lived when I was a child (Smålandsstenar). My question is if anyone could help me to identify the camp and perhaps give some informaton about its history. It was a big refugee camp close to Bredaryd in Öreryd. It was mainly Norwegians that stayed there. The people on these photes look more like they are from East or South  Europe.
