The research group explores Norwegian-Jewish life after the Holocaust in relation to broader society. The project specifically examines the role of Norwegian-Jewish cultural heritage in processes of integration and identity formation, as well as the dynamics between majority and minority populations in everyday life and public discourse.

This project is a collaboration among researchers from:

  • The Faculty of Humanities (Department of Language and Literature, and the Department of Modern Social History)
  • The Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences (Department of Teacher Education)
  • The Falstad Centre
  • The Jewish Museum, Trondheim
