The Girl in the Wall

A Jewish-Norwegian girl, Betzy Rosenberg, managed to hide from the German and Norwegian Nazis in Trondheim from the fall of 1942, when the deportations began, all the way until the war ended in May of 1945.

In the cabin next door, the Nazis were having parties, and Henry Rinnan himself – the leader of the infamous Rinnan Gang – could show up unannounced. Adolescence lost and the rest of her family deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz, this is Betzy's story. Impressive about "the Norwegian Anne Frank"‘The Girl in the Wall is grim reading. At it´s best, the book breathes life into historyand remind us that not to long ago people, not unlike us self, where defined asunwanted and sent to destruction based on their religion and cultural heritage.’NRK Gripping story‘Lindahl is thorough and talented with great insight into topics like Hitler’scoming to power, The Crystal night, the start of the war, Norwegian Nazis,concentration camps and the fall of Germany.’DAGBLADET ‘An almost unbeleivable story about how a young Norwegian woman, BetzyRosenberg, was hidden from sight from the fall of 1942 and all the way up tothe liberation day in 1945.’VG

Selv pistolen han holdt i handa, kunne ikke gjøre meg mer nervøs enn de to øynene!» Nynazisme. Innvandrerhets. Pelle og Proffen fra Torshov blander seg, for den slags søppel må det ryddes opp i. Den legendariske spenningsserien om kompisene Pelle og Proffen som stadig ramler bort i vanskelige og evigaktuelle situasjoner, er nå relansert for nye lesere.
