The same year that Norway and Denmark parted ways, the two countries chose diametrically different courses when it came to
\nJews. In Denmark, they became equal citizens – from Norway they were completely excluded. The Danish
\nresearcher Sofie Lene Bak told the newspaper Politiken earlier this year that Norway has a “deep-rooted
\nanti-Semitic cultural heritage”.<\/p>\n
Norwegian Jews are experiencing a sharp increase in anti-Semitic attitudes and actions after 7\/11. October last year.
\nIt ranges from exclusion to physical attacks. Many express disappointment with the Norwegian authorities
\nand many point to Denmark and the Danish authorities’ clarity when it comes to
\naddress anti-Semitic activities and attitudes. Could it be that Sofie Lene Bak is right when she
\nclaim that Norway has a deep-rooted anti-Semitic cultural heritage? Is anti-Semitism “in the walls” so to speak?<\/p>\n
Harald Stanghelle knows the story better than most, and in conversation with chairman John Arne Moen
\nin the Jewish community in Trondheim, he comments on developments in both the long and short term. The conversation
\nstarts with the relationship with the Norwegian Jewish minority and ends with Norway’s relationship with the state
\nIsrael.<\/p>\n
John Arne Moen is the former editor-in-chief of Tr\u00f8nder-Avisa, and is currently chairman of the board of Det J\u00f8diske Samfunn in Trondheim.<\/p>\n
