THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Norway During Holocaust
Will Be Subject of Study
By BEN GALLOB
(Copyright 1983, JTA, Inc.)
A $40,000 federal grant
has been awarded to a
Brooklyn College scholar to
prepare a book on the im-
pact of the Holocaust on
Norwegian Jews during the
German occupation of Nor-
way.
The grant was made by
the National Endowment
for the Humanities to Dr.
Samuel Abrahamsen,
Judaic studies professor,
and a widely-recognized
Norwegian-American ex-
pert. Dr. Abrahamsen said
his research is being under-
taken in cooperation with a
project on the history of the
Holocaust being done by the
Yad Vashem, the Remem-
brance Authority in
Jerusalem.

He said the research
marks the first interna-
tional effort to publish a
comprehensive history of
the Holocaust through a
series of 24 volumes. His
study on the persecution
and rescue of Jews in Scan-
dinavian countries will be
one of the volumes.
Asserting that "none of
the Scandinavian Jewish
communities suffered
such staggering losses —
about 50 percent — dur-
ing World War II as did
the Jews of Norway," the
scholar said the situation
of Jews in occupied Nor-
way had not been inves-
tigated adequately until
recently. He said a closer
look at the cultural, polit-
ical and social structure
in Norway will be taken
through archival foreign
and domestic materials.
Dr. Abrahamsen said he
will study such areas as
attitudes to Jews; anti-
Semitism, the influence of
Nazi ideology on the quisl-
ing collaborators; stages of
persecution; the role of
e Norwegian police in the
roundup and arrest of Jews;
and the rescue of the Jews to
Sweden.
The scholar, discussing
the impact of the Nazis on
Scandinavian nations, said
Finland, which was a co-
belligerent with Nazi Ger-
many from 1941 to 1944,
"protected its Jewish popu-
lation throughout the war,"
though it was an Axis part-
ner.
"Denmark, which was in-
vaded on the same day as
Norway, April 9, 1940, of-
fered only token resistance
and was considered by
Germany as a 'model pro-
tectorate' until Aug. 27,
1943" and, up to that date,
"enjoyed a degree of au-
tonomy unheard of in a
country under German
domination."
But in October of 1943,
Denmark's Jewish popu-
lation was rescued "en
masse" to Sweden which
remained a .war neutral
"and was the only Euro-
pean country which dou-
bled its Jewish popula-
tion by opening its bor-
ders to thousands of
Holocaust survivors and
refugees from over 27
different nationalities."
A native of Trandheim,
Norway, Dr. Abrahamsen
has written a number of
books on Sweden and Nor-
way and on Jews in those
countries. He is a founder
and former chairman of
Brooklyn College's Judaic
studies department, and a
former president of the New
York chapter of the
American-Scandinavian
Foundation.
Truth and Peace argued
against the creation of
Adam, for man is corn-
pounded of falsehood and
strife, and Love and Right-
eousness argued for it, be-
cause man would dispense
kindness and justice. Then
God cast down Truth and
Peace, and created man.

THIS IS THE MATZAH OF HOPE
The leader of the service takes up the matiah, sets it aside, and sthys:
On Passover, all Jews celebrate
freedom. Yet our brothers in the Soviet
Union must still observe this holy time
in secret. These are the Jew s for whom
the exodus is not yet a reality.
_
The Matzah of Hope represents those
who are not with us tonight:—Jews who
have been refused exit visas and who
suffer daily harassment ... Prisoners
of Conscience who endure the hard-
ships of cruel imprisonment. Their
"crime": the desire to live as Jews,
among Jews, in a free land.
We pause for a moment during this
Seder to reaffirm our solidarity with
Soviet Jewry. We pledge ourselves to
continue to work for their freedom. We
vow that, once they are free, we will
help them rebuild their lives. We will not
rest until the task is complete, for until
alrJews are free, no Jew is free.

Seder Ritual of Remembrance for Six Million
Jews Who Perished at the Hands of the Nazis
and the Heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
.•
'Perform this Ritual after the Third of the Four Ceremonial Cups, just before the
door is opened for the symbolic entrance of the Prophet Elijah. All rise, and the
leader of Seder recites the following :
English rendition of the
Hebrew:
On this night of the Seder we
remember with reverence and
love the six millions of our people
of the European exile who
perished at the hands of a tyrant
more wicked than the Pharaoh
who enslaved our fathers in
Egypt. Come, said he to his min-
ions, let us cut them off from being
a people, that the name of Israel
may be remembered no more. And
they slew the blameless and pure,
men and women and little ones,
with vapors of poison and burned
them with fire. But we abstain
from dwelling on the deeds of the
evil ones lest we defame the image
of God in which man was created.
Now, the remnants of our
people who were left in the ghettos
and camps of annihilation rose up
against the wicked ones for the
sanctification of the Name, and
slew many of them before they
died. On the first day of Passover
the remnants in the Ghetto of
Warsaw rose up against the ad-
versary, even as in the days . of
Judah the Maccabee. They were
lovely and pleasant in their lives,
and in their death they were not
divided, and they brought rede-
mption to the name of Israel
through all the-world.
And from the depths of their
affliction the martyrs lifted their
voices in a song of faith in the
coming of the Messiah, when jus-
tice and brotherhood will reign
among men.
