WW2 Occupation - Norway Teachers Resisted, Refused To Teach Nazism - Arrested, Forced Labor Camps

'March 15, 1942: Norwegian Teachers Resist Nazi Curriculum,' Zinn Education Project.

On March 15, 1942, more than 1,300 Norwegian teachers were arrested by the German Nazi-installed government run by Vidkun Quisling after 12,000 of 14,000 nationwide had refused to join the new Nazi-oriented teachers’ association and resisted nazification of the curriculum. Half were held in a concentration camp outside the capital of Oslo. The rest were shipped to the Arctic for forced labor alongside Russian prisoners of war.
