how a Norwegian Jew survived the Holocaust
2011
In 1945 Moritz Nachstern sat down in his Oslo apartment to tell the story of how he survived the Holocaust. Seven hundred and seventy-one Jews from Norway were taken during the German occupation of 1940-45. He was one of only thirty-four who came back. He nearly died in Auschwitz before he was selected for the Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the isolated Block 19. The SS watched the occupants of Block 19 carefully for it was these men who produced perfect counterfeit British and American money for the Nazis.

the story of a massacre in Norway--and its aftermath
On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a bomb outside the Norwegian prime minister's office in central Oslo, killing eight people. He then proceeded to a youth camp on the wooded island of Ut?ya, where he killed sixty-nine more, most of them teenage members of the country's governing Labour Party. In One of Us, the journalist ?sne Seierstad tells the story of this terrible day and its reverberations. How did Breivik, a gifted child from an affluent neighborhood in Oslo, become Europe's most reviled terrorist? How did he accomplish an astonishing one-man murder spree? And how did a famously peaceful and prosperous country cope with the slaughter of so many of its young?.
