Jewish deportees from Norway during World War II

During the Nazi occupation of Norway 772[1] of these were arrested, detained, and/or deported, most of them sent to Auschwitz or other extermination camps where 742 were murdered.

The Norwegian police and German authorities kept records of these victims, and so, researchers were able to compile information about the deportees.

[5][6] The deportation from Norway to concentration camps followed a planned staging of events involving both Norwegian police authorities and German Gestapo, Sicherheitsdienst, and SS staff, though the front for the campaign was through Statspolitiet under the command of Karl Marthinsen:[4][7] Detentions and deportation took on scale when all Jewish men were ordered arrested on October 26, 1942 and sent to camps in Norway, notable Berg, Grini, and Falstad, where they were held under harsh conditions until the deportation, targeted for November 26 on the Donau.

The majority of those deported were immediately murdered in the gas chambers at Auschwitz; some were put to slave labor but perished soon after.

[3] Thousands of Norwegians were deported to camps in Germany and German-occupied territories during World War II.

[11][12][13] By comparison, there was no organized effort to maintain contact with and establish the fate of Jews who had been deported from Norway.
