Abstract

The article refers to Norway during World War II. The Norwegian police have received criticism for their active role regarding the arrests of Jews who were living in Norway. In 2012, police director Odd Reidar Humlegård offered a public apology on behalf of the police. Police Administration employees accounted for a diverse group and there are examples of police officers who tried to avert the arrests. This theme is illustrated to clarify further the situation in a specific Norwegian city and for one Jewish family
