==Early life== <!-- This could be the basis of a biography, but somethings have to be written on his pre-1957 experiences, he was a student politician and a communist, something generally seen as relevant. --> Nils Bejerot was born 1921 in [[Norrtälje]], Stockholm County. His father worked as a bank teller at the local ''Upland Bank'' office. Not an avid student, he was more interested in scouting. In 1936 the family moved to [[Östhammar]] after his father was assigned to another bank office. At the age of 15, Bejerot was found to have bleeding in the lungs due to [[tuberculosis]] and was admitted to a [[sanatorium]] for a total of three years. However, Bejerot described this time as a happy period in his life. The mood among the patients was good, despite the fact that approximately one third of them died.<ref name="minnesbok">{{Cite web |url=http://www.nilsbejerot.se/minnesbok.pdf |title=Nils Bejerot — forskaren, folkupplysaren, pionjären i kampen mot narkotikan, 1993 (A collection of essays about Nils Bejerot written by different authors after Nils Bejerots death, for the secretary of the Nobel Prize committee, collected by Carol Bejerot) |access-date=6 May 2008 |archive-date=11 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211143128/http://www.nilsbejerot.se/minnesbok.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> On his first vacation he met English nurse Carol Maurice in the 320 km railway between [[Šamac, Bosnia and Herzegovina|Samac]] and [[Sarajevo]] in then-[[Yugoslavia]], and they later married.<ref name="minnesbok" />
