"Ingvar Kamprad gave a detailed account back in 1994 about what he describes as his 'youthful sins' and the 'biggest mistake of his life', apologizing and asking for forgiveness from all parties involved. The IKEA he created is based on democratic principles and embraces a multicultural society." Okay, this is what I found and what I copied is, in my opinion, most important information to be passed on. Mr. Kamprad was barely 17 when he joined a Swiss Nazi Youth Party and feels it is 'the biggest mistake of (his) life'. At such a young age, we all make mistakes. He was only involved for 7 years.
