On This Day | Life Under Fascism

Throughout these two and one-half years the Norwegians have seen their country plundered and laid waste, its democratic government replaced, its church and religious freedom gravely challenged, its economic system thrown into chaos, its school teachers and school children threatened and bullied, its hard-gained social reforms tossed into the discard, its cultural traditions scoffed at and desecrated. They have seen Norway’s hitherto carefully guarded natural resources ruthlessly exploited for the benefit of Germany alone. They have seen Norwegian industries seized and converted to serve Germany’s war machine. They have seen their newspapers turned into mere mouthpieces for Nazism. They have seen Norwegian Labor reduced to slavery.
