On Friday Bill met with an archivist at the Kristiansand National Archives who contributed to a book about the fate of Jews in southern Norway. Here's a Google translate description of the book entitled "Jakten etter jødene på Agder" [The Hunt for the Jews in Agder] which has apparently created quite a stir because it names some of the most prominent Norwegian Nazi collaborators.
"Also in southern Norway, there were Jews who were persecuted and arrested in the years 1940-45. In Kristiansand, two stores in 1940 had Jewish owners. One was closed in 1942, the second was "Norwegianised" and continued their activities. Here are stories of Jews who fled and the Norwegians who helped them. But the book also shows that some Southerners often helped in the Nazi attempt at total annihilation of the Norwegian Jews."
