Germany invaded Norway with a massive military force in April 1940.
The author describes the Norwegian resistance movement including
their effort to help Jews avoid Nazi death camps. Much of the
resistance movement was led by clergy from the Norwegian Lutheran
church and by school teachers. Section two describes our escape
from western Norway via a fishing boat to Scotland, and then on a
Norwegian freighter to Canada. On each leg of our trip we
experienced a military attack from either a German airplane or a
submarine attack. I was four years old at the time of our escape;
one of my brothers was eight years old, and our younger brother was
eighteen months old. My mother made all the arrangements and
experienced the brunt of the stress of our escape, because my
father had already escaped previously.
The final section of the book focuses on reflections by us three
brothers, now some sixty years after our escape. We have come to a
painful realization that anti-Semitism has a long history in our
Christian churches (Protestant and Catholic) that contributed to
the silence and even collaboration with the Nazi plans for the
holocaust.
