Timeline

1944

In 1944 Freuchen fled from Nazi occupied Denmark to Sweden with her father and married Bengt Häger [sv], a Swedish choreographer and academic. They had a daughter named Navarana. She returned to her father's home town of Nykøbing Falster in Denmark in 1952. Häger remarried in 1954.

Freuchen's wrote Ivik: den faderløse ("Ivik the Fatherless") in Danish and it has been translated into several languages, including English as Eskimo Boy, and German as Ivik der Vaterlose. It was published in Sweden as part of the Robinson Series for children aged nine to eleven by Geber Förlag [sv]. In the book, Ivik's father is killed by a walrus on a hunting trip and Ivik has to save his family from starvation. Ivik ultimately ends up killing a polar bear. The book was noted in an Association on American Indian Affairs bibliography for its "unrelenting realism". Reviewing the book, the Lexington Herald described it as "permeated with the spirit of Eskimo culture", while the Manchester Guardian described the book as "a little masterpiece of writing". The Swedish edition was illustrated by Freuchen's step-cousin Ingrid Vang Nyman, who was living in Sweden and had illustrated Freuchen's story Julafton bland eskimåer (Christmas Eve among Eskimos) for Dagens Nyheter in 1944.
