From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the
occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany
, its
Jewish community
was
subject to persecution
and
deported
to
extermination camps
. Although at least 764 Jews in Norway were killed, over 1,000 were rescued with the help of non-Jewish Norwegians who risked their lives to smuggle the refugees out of Norway, typically to Sweden.
