Overview

Summary: A thorough documention that anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic attitudes were widespread in Norway before the war, and that these attitudes accompanied the government in exile. Towards the summer of 1945, the government in London received clear information about the preparations for the extermination of the Jews, including Norwegians. The Danube operation itself was briefly referred to in the government as a foreign policy matter. Through religious rhetoric, the government's press agency Norsk Tidend accused the Jews of betrayal, and of causing their own fate. In particular, Prime Minister Nygaardsvold and Foreign Minister Lie were against any special treatment of the Jews. The white buses did not save Norwegian Jews. They were left out of the lists that formed the basis of prisoners to be brought out of Germany. However, 64 interned Norwegian Jews were brought from Berg and Grini to Sweden at the beginning of May 1945. Jews were also discriminated against during the return of confiscated assets after the war.
