The Jewish community in Norway is relatively small, numbering just 1,500, and is described by some as “the northernmost Jewish community in the world”. As is common in most Scandinavian countries, the Jewish community in Norway is concentrated mostly in the capital, Oslo. However there is a significant Jewish community in Trondheim too, home to the “northernmost synagogue in the world” which sits just 500 kilometers from the Arctic Circle.
For many years, Jews were forbidden from living in Norway, so country’s Jewish history is quite limited. A small number of Jews were allowed to enter Norway after the expulsion from Spain however, allowing for a small population to develop, and in 1687 the country passed a law that Jews were banned from Norway but those that were caught were jailed or deported. The ban remained until 1851. After many attempts by a Norwegian politician and a number of local activists, the ban on immigration of Jews to Norway was lifted and Jews there even received status equal to that of Christians.
The first Jewish community in Norway was established in Oslo in 1892, and grew steadily up until World War II. Jewish refugees entered country and the Jewish community grew to number 2,100 in the 1930s. During the Holocaust, however, most of the Jews were sent to concentration camps and those who managed escaped to Sweden or elsewhere. In 1946, due to the toll of the Holocaust, there were just 559 Jews living in Norway.
In Norway today there are two synagogues: one in Oslo and one in Trondheim. In Oslo there is even a Jewish community center which includes a Jewish preschool, a Heder and even a small Kosher market. There’s also a Chabad representative in Norway.

Greetings From Oslo! (April 2018)
Greetings From Oslo! (April 2018)
David & Bori spend a long weekend in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. Once they get there, that is, since Ryanair's advertised Oslo Airport is in fact over 100km away in TORP Sandefjord - but a smooth journey on NSB will quickly solve that!
Once they arrive, they explore the city, visit its opera house and several museums (including the National Gallery, FRAM & the Holocaust Centre) and take a couple of boat rides around the fjord.

The Escape from Norway - Full version documentary
The complete documentary!
A dramatic escape from prison and Norway during the German occupation. The 52 min. documentary been broadcasted at NRK in Norway and at SVT Sweden.
Bakgrund
Hitlers ockupation av Norge under 2:a världskriget och att nästan hälften (ca 770) av de norska judar som levde i Norge deporterades och förintades i Auschwitz är för många människor totalt okänt. Berättelser och dagböcker från överlevande, forskning och insamling av fakta, utställningar och upprättandet av ett Holocaust center i Oslo är några exempel på insatser för att människor inte ska glömma vad som hände i Norge.
Sveriges svaga agerande för att hjälpa ”broderlandet” Norge under den inledande ockupationen mörklades och först på senare år har Sveriges agerande kommit att diskuteras allt mera. Det märks ett växande intresse för att få veta mera.
Dokumentären:
Filmen handlar om hur Kurt Levy och hans familj lyckade fly från Norge under 2:a världskriget. När hans dotter Yvonne fick läsa hans berättelse för första gången började hennes egen resa för att få veta mera om familjen och flykten från Norge. Familjen hade flytt från Tyskland och nazisterna till Norge 1938 i hopp om att få börja ett nytt liv. Två år senare ockuperades Norge av Hitler. De första åren kände inte judarna sig hotade men 1942 börjar arresteringarna av alla judar i Norge och deporteringarna till olika förintelseläger.
Kurt Levys mamma kunde genom sitt modiga och listiga handlande övertygade nazisterna att tillfälligt stoppa deportationen av fadern och de två bröderna när de just skulle stiga ombord på lastfartyget med destination Auschwitz. Tillbaka i fängelset som fungerade som internerings/koncentrationsläger för judarna, blev Kurt Levy sjuk och hamnade på sjukhus. Därifrån gjorde han upp en plan för fadern och brodern hur de skulle rymma från lägret, vilket de också gjorde innan nästa deportation skulle ske. Kurt i sin tur rymde från sjukhuset men blev tillfångatagen igen. Han lyckades återigen rymma en tredje gång. Modern med de övriga familjemedlemmarna fick hjälp av underrättelseorganisationen att fly till Sverige. Till slut kunde hela familjen återförenas i Sverige efter sina olika flyktvägar.
Holocaust centret i Norge har nu uppmärksammat historien. Under inspelningen hittade vi dokument i norska Riksarkivet om de då uppmärksammade rymningarna. Filmen är inspelad i Frankrike, Tyskland, Norge, Israel och Sverige. Filmen är inspelad på engelska som nu även finns på på svenska.

The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege (pt. 2)
Speaker: Kenneth Levin
Date: February 28, 2006
In his briefing at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Dr. Levin argues the following:
The phenomenon of Diaspora Jews embracing as truth the indictments of Jew-haters has been so commonplace that a literature on the subject emerged under the rubric Jewish self-hatred. A similar predilection evolved in Israel, particularly among the nation's cultural elites, in the context of the Arab siege.
Segments of populations under chronic siege commonly embrace the indictments of the besiegers, however bigoted and outrageous. They hope that by doing so and reforming accordingly they can assuage the hostility of their tormenters and win relief. This has been an element of the Jewish response to anti-Semitism throughout the history of the Diaspora.
The paradigm on the level of individual psychology is the psychodynamics of abused children, who almost invariably blame themselves for their predicament, ascribe it to their being bad, and nurture fantasies that by becoming good they can mollify their abusers and end their torment.
The rhetoric of the Israeli Peace Movement, its distortions of Arab aims and actions, and its indictments of Israel likewise reflected the psychological impact of chronic besiegement. The Oslo process that the Peace Movement spawned entailed policies grounded in wishful thinking and self-delusion analogous to that of abused children. Israel's national institutions -- political, educational, academic, cultural, and media-related -- need to help arm the nation against the allures of Oslo-era delusions if the Oslo debacle is not to be repeated.
