Event
3 hours about Norway 1940–1945: Occupation and Settlement
With Professor Emeritus, Øystein Sørensen and Professor Emerita, Guri Hjeltnes, in conversation with Civita advisor, Eirik Løkke.
On April 9, 1940, Nazi Germany attacked Norway, starting what would become five years of occupation. How did the occupation affect society and everyday life for people? Who chose resistance, and who chose to collaborate with the occupying power? What dilemmas did Norwegian politicians face? On May 8, 1945, Norway was free again, and the settlement followed immediately. How should we judge the legal settlement 80 years later?
On this day you will meet:
- Øystein Sørensen, Professor Emeritus, University of Oslo
- Guri Hjeltnes, Professor Emerita and former director at HL-senteret
- Eirik Løkke, Advisor at Civita and conversation leader
