The Berg camp was an internment camp of the Norwegian collaboration government in Berg near Oslo in Norway from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945 . It went back to an initiative of Nasjonal Samling in autumn 1941 and was subordinate to the Norwegian National Socialist Police Association Stapo under Police Minister Jonas Lie, camp managers Eivind Wallestad and Leif Lindseth. On October 28, 1942, the first prisoners - 350 Norwegian Jews - were housed makeshiftly in the barracks that had not yet been fully completed and had to do forced labor. 280 Jews were deported by train to Oslo and on to Auschwitz on November 26, 1942 . After that, 847 political opponents were held captive in the camp until the end of the war.
