The List of Righteous Among the Nations from Norway lists the Norwegians in alphabetical order who have been honored by the Yad Vashem Memorial with the title Righteous Among the Nations . The title is given to non-Jewish individuals who, under National Socialist rule during World War II, gave their lives to save Jews from murder. The attached year indicates the year in which the person concerned received this title.
764 Jews in Norway were killed during the German occupation of the country, but 1,000 were saved with the help of non-Jewish Norwegians. Most of them were saved by the helpers smuggling them out of the country into unoccupied Sweden . In the Jewish children's home in Oslo mentioned in the text, 14 Jewish children within the country also survived the occupation.
67 Norwegian women and men have received the title Righteous Among the Nations , as well as the collective Norwegian resistance against the National Socialists.
