Anniversary of Jews’ Deportation Remembered in Oslo
By JTA
The Oslo Jewish Museum will open an exhibition on the Holocaust in Norway exactly 70 years after hundreds of Norwegian Jews were shipped to Auschwitz.
Židovski muzej u Oslu će otvoriti izložbu o Holokaustu u Norveškoj, točno nakon 70 godina od kako su stotine norveških Židova odvedene u Auschwitz. Muzej će izložbu otvoriti 26. studenog točno u 2.55 , u vrijeme odvođenja 552 Židova brodom "Luna" u Poljsku, u logor smrti. Tada je deportirano 40% norveških Židdova (772) i samo je nekoliko njih preživjelo. Ostalih 60% norveških Židova pobjeglo je u neutralnu Švedsku.
Izložba se usredotočuje na samu deportaciju koja je sprovedena od norveške policije i članova milicije, prema izjavi Matsa
Tangestuen
a
povjesničara muzeja, uključujući i video svjedočenja 21 osobe koje su preživjele.
Manji dio izložbe istražuje život oko 900 Židova za vrijeme egzila u Švedskoj.
Ranije ove godine premijer Norveške Jens Stoltenberg se formalno ispričao za ulogu svoje zemlje u nacističkom progonu Židova.

Norway's Holocaust inverters
Ynet

Norway is far more anti-Semitic than the conclusions of the study "Anti-Semitism in Norway? - The Norwegian Population’s attitude towards Jews and other minorities" suggest. This can be deduced from this document’s own data.This report – published last month by the Oslo Center for Studies of Holocaust and Religious Minorities – provides interesting information. Yet it does not address several major issues. One is that Norway’s prime minister and several other members of the government are part-time anti-Semites. To verify this one only has to measure their acts and statements with the common European definition of anti-Semitism.
The study finds that 8% of Norwegians do not want Jews as neighbors, nor among their circle of friends. Almost 11% feel antipathy toward Jews and 12.5% of the population can be considered significantly prejudiced against Jews. Some 13% believe that Jews are to blame for their own persecution.
The study’s English summary concludes that the prevalence of anti-Semitism in Norway is “limited” and “on par” with the UK Denmark and Sweden. This can be better worded as: “There are anti-Semites in Norway, but that phenomenon is common in post-war Europe and we don’t have as many as some people accuse us of.”
Criticism of the study in the country itself gave attention to the absence of data on anti-Semitism among Norwegian Muslims. The over 1,500 respondent sample used would have been large enough to reach conclusions about this, had Muslims been interviewed in proportion to their presence in Norway. Their number in the sample is, however, negligible......
Another reason given for anti-Semitism among those polled were stereotypical characterizations of Jews in line with classic Western anti-Semitism. An earlier study found that in Oslo, a third of Jewish children in high schools are verbally or physically attacked at least two or three times a month.
Some 38% of those polled are Holocaust inverters. They consider Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians as similar to the Nazis’ treatment of Jews during the Second World War. According to the earlier mentioned definition of anti-Semitism, this is an anti-Semitic statement. Based on this data one can conclude that the number of Norwegian anti-Semites is close to 1.5 million...
