I have visited Norway and will be the first to say that it is a magnificently beautiful country.

It also has a sorry history when it comes to Jews. From the 1814 law banning Jews from immigration (later repealed) to the fascist puppet government of Vidkun Quisling and the rounding up of Norwegian Jews for deportation to Nazi concentration camps, Norway’s relationship with its own Jewish citizens hasn’t been anything to write home about. Today in Norway there is plenty of the 21st century version of far left and far right Jew hatred, along with the typical inept inaction from the government.
