And an afternoon spent with Herman Kahan, the undisputed leader of the community, and his wife Esther, filled me in on how 700 Jews live and are respected in a northern country where more than 88 percent of the population belong to the Evangelical. Luther- an State Church. The whitewashed synagogue at 13 Bergstein St. was built in 1920. Sandwiched between stately homes, it sparkles in the sunshine like a jewel. Along with the com- munity center, it is the focal point of Oslo's Jewish life. Before World War II, Norway was home to about 1,800 Jews, in- cluding several hundred who had fled Germany to escape the Holo- caust. When Norway was invad- ed, more than 900 escaped to Sweden with the help of the Nor- wegian underground. However, in 1942, those who remained were singled out by the Germans and dealt with even more harshly than other Norwegians. After the war, only 12 of those survived. A few, such as Else Hercz, had lived through the heinous events hidden in a hospi- tal. The Norwegian government, in an effort to re-establish the pre- war Jewish community, opened their doors to several hundred refugees so that today Norway is home to about 1,000 Jews. Just liberated from Auschwitz, the young, malnourished Herman Kahan came to Oslo almost by ac- cident. "My father had died only 10 days after we were liberated," he tells me. "I had a visa for Amer- ica but I was told that my sister was alive and living in Norway so I came here." Now, some 50 years later, jovial and tanned from years of skiing and sailing, Mr. Kahan recalls that his father had insisted that besides studying Torah, each per- son should have another skill. "I learned to knit socks and that's how I started out to make a living," he says with a laugh, re- membering. He met his wife Esther, raised five children and as the owner of four factories, became the largest manufacturer of woolen socks in C NORWEGIAN page 134
