anti-Jewish acts of the
Nazis. Norwegian Resistance
fighters were daring in their
efforts to organize an escape
for more than 900 of Norway's
Jews, helping them to get
across the guarded frontier to
safety in Sweden.
The city honors this
heroism in a museum devoted
to the Resistance. The
modern brick building on the
grounds of the 14th-century
Akershus Castle, not far from
the city hall, opened in 1970
on the 25th anniversary of
the liberation.
The modest looking ex-
terior of the Resistance
Museum hardly prepares the
visitor for the dramatic
displays inside.
The carefully detailed ex-
hibits cover the years of oc-
cupation, from the day the
Nazis attacked Norway, April
9, 1940, to the liberation in
1945, and they show how the
Norwegians, staunch and
fierce, built one of the most ef-
fective Resistance movements
in Europe.
The display covers key
events in the Resistance ef-
fort: the secret overnight
escape of Norway's king, who
fled by boat to England; the
daring exploits of the youth of
Finnmark in the north of
Norway, who escaped by boat
to the former Soviet Union
and trained as saboteurs in
sub-zero temperature; and the
80 fighters who hid in eight
huts in the forest and manag-
ed to fight until the liberation
on May 4, 1945.

way's Jews includes grim

details of their life in the
death camp, including in-
struments of torture — a
finger breaker, pair of foot
chains and heavy metal
tongs.
There's also a crumpled
striped prison camp uniform
and one vivid photo of a
frightened child, his hands
held above his head as a Nazi
officer points a gun at his
back.
But besides the tragedy,
there is also the bravery, the
spirited opposition to oppres-
sion which is a dominant
theme. It's an appropriate
theme for a country with a
tradition of strong and proud
independence. ❑

Israeli Police
Detain Marchers
Imm
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israeli
officials are pondering what
to do with over 100 peace
marchers, most of them for-
eign, who were detained for
disobeying police orders.
Right-wing politicians are
demanding their immediate
expulsion from the country.
More likely, the duration of
their visitors visas will be
reduced.
The police jailed 115 dem-
onstrators, some of them
Israelis but the rest visitors
from about 20 countries.
They came to Israel to hold
a peace march through the
West Bank on the 25th an-
niversary of the Six-Day
War in which that territory
was captured by Israel.
The authorities say they
were brought here by the
Hadash Communist Party,
allegedly with funds provid-
ed by the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization and left-
wing pro-PLO groups
abroad.
The visitors joined some
200 Israeli peace marchers
who set off from Megiddo for
the Arab town of Jenin in
the West Bank.
But at the Green Line,
Israel's pre-1967 border,
their way was barred by
police, who told them the
Jenin region was a "closed
military area." They were
ordered to disperse.
The demonstrators refused
to move, however, blocking
the main road, and were ar-
rested.
According to Kathy Kelly,
coordinator of the U.S. con-
tingent, "those who were ar-
rested acted as they did be-
cause they believed it was
crucial to walk, to cross over
to where the Palestinians
live and to hear what their
needs and concerns are liv-
ing under occupation."
