Norwegian Jews and the Holocaust: Norwegian Righteous Among the Nations

Reviving Jewish cultural heritage in Europe and combatting anti-Semitism
Norway has for many years supported preservation of Jewish cultural heritage in Europe and has financed projects for around EUR 49 million as part of our contribution to the EU over the past 20 years. This includes both the restoration of synagogues, the preservation of Jewish cemeteries, the dissemination of Jewish culture and the fight against antisemitism.
