The article gives a brief description of the deportation and imprisonment in German concentration camps of the Norwegian Jews during World War II. Of the 760 who were deported, only 24 survived. Thirteen of these were refugees to Norway from Central Europe. At the end of the observation period (31 December 1974), 6 of these were dead, 2 were untraced, and 5 were living in Norway. The author was able to follow the lives of the other 11 Norwegian-born Jews during their imprisonment and during the entire thirty-year period since their release. In spite of the excessive stress they were exposed to during their stay in the camps, they have managed better than the average non-Jewish Norwegian concentration camp survivors. It is concluded that the close-knit milieu and the active acceptance and help of the small Jewish community in Norway have contributed to this. The practical and theoretical implications of this conclusion are discussed.
