U of M Conference to examine unique question of Norway and the Holocaust

A conference at the University of Minnesota will examine a seldom-considered aspect of the Holocaust: the fate of Jews in Norway. Bringing together academics, researchers, a child survivor and a resistance fighter, “Norway, World War II and the Holocaust” takes place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m Friday, April 20, at the Radisson Metrodome, 615 Washington Ave. S.E., Minneapolis, and will cover topics including the Norwegian government’s collaboration with the Nazis, the role of the resistance and the issue of restitution claims by the approximately 55 percent of Norwegian Jews who survived.
