Dan Laksov (10 July 1940 – 25 October 2013) was a Norwegian-Swedish mathematician and human rights activist.
Historien om deportasjonen av jøder fra Norge by Kristian Ottosen, the escape of Amalie and Dan from Norway in November 1942 is chronicled.
Håkon and Amalie's four brothers were all captured in October 1942 as a part of the arresting of all Norwegian Jews, shipped on SS Donau to Auschwitz in November 1942 and perished there sometime in early 1943.
Amalie had been tipped off ahead of the next wave of arrests and managed to hide together with her young son at various addresses in Oslo before being able to flee to Sweden, where they reunited with Amalie's mother and two aunts and spent the rest of the war in Norrköping.
He graduated in 1964 and after one year of non-armed conscription service, he travelled to Paris on a scholarship to study at Institut Henri Poincaré.
