nside the musuem, a
group of youngsters has
gathered in front of a
display case which shows a
detailed and full color map of
Norway.
One of them presses a but-
ton under the map. Suddenly,
the map lights up with dots
near the trees and moun-
tains, showing the exact loca-
tion of secret huts where, dur-
ing World War II, 80 resis-
tance fighters were head-
quartered, planning their
strategy to oppose the Nazis.
The map is one of many
multi-media exhibits in the
Resistance Museum in Oslo.
It is a museum which offers
the visitor an unusual jour-
ney through history, as it do-
cuments the difficult years
from 1940 to 1945 when Nor-
way was occupied by the
Nazis and the Norwegians
rallied to create a powerful
resistance movement.
The Oslo museum is one of
two in Scandinavia that focus
on resistance to Nazi occupa-
tion. The other is in Copen-
hagen — and it, too, presents
a compelling account of how
ordinary citizens rallied to op-
pose Nazi occupation.
Together, these two
musuems offer the visitor two
vivid examples of resistance.
The exhibits focus on the im-
pact of Nazi domination on all
the citizens — but they also
focus on the particular fate of
the Jews in both these coun-
tries. And they give visitors
the chance to sense the expe-
rience of Scandinavians —
Jews and non-Jews alike —
who were subjected to Nazi
occupation, and who often
displayed unusual courage.
Situated high on a hill over-
looking the Oslo fjord, Nor-
way's Resistance Museum
opened in 1970 on the 25th
anniversary of Norway's lib-
eration from the Nazis. From
the outside, the displays pre-
sent a dramatic story.
The carefully documented
exhibits tell the story in se-
quence, from the first attack
of the Nazis to the final
liberation.
When the Nazis attacked
Norway on April 9, 1940, the
Norwegians held out for six-
ty days before surrendering.
Even after they did, they be-
gan almost immediately to
build a secret resistance
movement.
The history of their
resistance was often punc-
tuated by high drama, and
The Oslo Museum
is one of two in
Scandinavia that
focus on
resistance to Nazi
occupation.
the exhibits show this. There
was, for example, the secret
overnight escape of Norway's
king, who fled by boat to
England and established a
government in exile there.
There were the daring ex-
ploits of the youth of Finn-
mark, in northern Norway,
who escaped in boats to the
Soviet Union and then, in
sub-zero temperature, trained
as saboteurs; and the
resistance fighters who hid in
huts in the forests while they
trained to fight and kept on
fighting until the liberation.
The tragic plight of Nor-
way's Jews is an important
theme in this museum.
Before the war, about 1800
Jews lived in Norway. Almost
half were taken to the death
camps. Only a handful
survived.
