It is difficult to understand how conspiracy theories can create hatred directed at individuals and an entire people, but we are witnessing the same thing today.

It has been 80 years since the Jews in Norway were arrested and sent to Auschwitz – the country’s biggest crime during World War II.

I would like to highlight one aspect that is less prominent in the NRK series, and which I have observed through my work on a book about the Trondheim SS commander Gerhard Flesch: the intense hatred and contempt that Jews faced after they were arrested in the autumn of 1942 – both at Berg concentration camp outside Tønsberg municipality and at the Falstad concentration camp in the village of Ekne. Falstad was a labour camp, a transit camp and a death camp.

I believe this part of the story – of the hatred that led to extreme prisoner mistreatment and humiliation until they were deported – is also important. Hitler’s conspiracy theories created a rage that was given full vent the moment the Jews were locked up.
