Elisabeth Åsbrink is a nonfiction writer and journalist. She has worked for the Swedish National Television for fifteen years as a reporter and editor for news shows, cultural programs and investigative journalism. Her book And in the Vienna Woods the Trees Remain (Och i Wienerwald står träden kvar) received worldwide attention for revealing new information about IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad's ties to Nazism. It won several awards, including the August Prize for Best Swedish Non-Fiction Book of the Year (2011). Åsbrink made her debut as a playwright with Tracks (Räls), based on the authentic minutes from a meeting convened by Herman Göring in 1938, and has since written four plays.
