List of stumbling blocks in Vestfold og Telemark

The list of stumbling blocks in Vestfold og Telemark lists all stumbling blocks in the Norwegian province (Fylke) Vestfold og Telemark . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . The Stolpersteine ​​were designed by the German artist Gunter Demnig and are mostly laid by himself. As a rule, the stumbling blocks are in front of the last self-chosen place of residence of the victim. Stumbling blocks are called snublesteiner in Norwegian .

All stumbling blocks in this province are dedicated to Jewish operas. The first relocations took place in Larvik in September 2012.

Holocaust in Norway

Norway was occupied by German troops from April 9, 1940 to May 8, 1945. At that time there were around 2,100 Jewish Norwegians and refugees from Central Europe in the country. Of these, around a thousand people were able to save themselves to neutral and unoccupied Sweden. On November 26, 1942, the Norwegian police and Gestapo handed over 532 Norwegian Jews (302 men, 188 women and 42 children) to the SS. They came to Stettin on a cargo ship from Norddeutscher Lloyd , the Danube , and from there they were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. 346 of them, including all women and children, were murdered in the gas chambers immediately upon arrival on December 1, 1942. 186 men survived the selection and were tattooed with the numbers 79064 to 79249. Only nine of them were able to survive the Shoah . On February 25, another 158 Jews were shipped to Stettin on the Gotenland and brought to Auschwitz via Berlin. 28 men were classified as fit for work, the others murdered immediately. This happened on March 3, 1943.
