/4 Before 1940 Jewish population in Norway was
approximately 2,100 people, growing in the late 1930s due to refugees from Central Europe. Most Jews lived in Oslo. Smaller community in Trondheim. The population was devastated during WW II after Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany in April 1940.

/3 Norway banned Jewish people until the 1850's. A ban prohibiting Jews from entering Norway, stemming from a 1687 decree, was in effect until 1851. The ban persisted after the 1814 constitution was created, which also reinforced the exclusion of Jews.

Norway to Auschwitz. I was surprised. So, I looked a bit and found that at least 775 people of Jewish background in Norway were arrested, detained, and deported through a systematic, multi-stage process carried out by the
collaborationist Norwegian police and government officials in cooperation /1

Does anyone else think it's strange that no major US, GB, or EU media have published the fact that 26 hostages freed from Gaza visited the WH & Trump in the oval office today and there are no news articles about what was said - if I'm wrong about that please let me know.
