History of the programme

At the end of the 19th century, the authorities tried to stop the terrible cholera from entering Sweden and set up quarantines at the major shipping lanes. Fejan was the east coast quarantine station and received ships from Russia and Finland. Later, Fejan received refugees from Estonia during the Second World War.
