Antisemitism on the Norwegian Far-Right, 1967–2018
Author(s): Simonsen, Kjetil Braut
Date: 2020
Topics: Antisemitism: Far right, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: This article examines antisemitism on the Norwegian far-right from the first wave of politically organized neo-Nazism in the late 1960s to the present. Two sets of questions form the core of the analysis. First, the ideological content of antisemitism is analysed. Which motifs, images, and narratives have circulated in Norwegian far-right antisemitism from the 1960s to the present, and what has their function been? Second, the article focuses on the relationships between antisemitism and other group constructions. To what extent has antisemitism on the Norwegian far-right been supplemented with or replaced by other enemy images? One main conclusion is that anti-Jewish expressions often signal a total worldview. Here, not only immigration or multiculturalism but the prevailing system in toto is rejected as the ‘tool’ for an alleged ‘Jewish conspiracy’. In this sense, antisemitism often marks a revolutionary ideological position and militant political strategies.
I skyggen av Holocaust - antisemittisme i norsk historie 1945 - 2023
Translated Title: In the shadow of the Holocaust - anti-Semitism in Norwegian history 1945 - 2023

Topics: Antisemitism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Post-War Jewish History
Abstract: Tiden etter 1945 ble et vendepunkt i antisemittismens historie. Som følge av Hitler-Tysklands nederlag og oppgjøret med nasjonalsosialismens forbrytelser ble åpenlyst hat mot jøder ansett som uakseptabelt.

Dette førte ikke til at antisemittismen forsvant. I etterkrigstiden har den overvintret i ekstreme politiske miljøer, men også levd videre i utenfor disse.

Dette er historien om antisemittismen i Norge etter 1945. Det handler om hvordan diskusjonen om jødene og antisemittismen har endret seg etter 1945. Boka ser også på de ulike uttrykksformene antijødiske konspirasjonsforestillinger, bilder og stereotypier har fått i skyggen av okkupasjonstiden, nasjonalsosialismen og Holocaust.
Norwegian Antisemitism after 1945: Current Knowledge

Abstract: How did the Second World War and the trauma of the German occupation affect the extent and nature of Norwegian antisemitism after 1945? This article provides an overview of research dealing with postwar and contemporary antisemitism in Norway. Furthermore, it seeks to suggest some directions for further research. One priority, it argues, should be to analyse the development of Norwegian postwar antisemitism on a broad historical basis. Postwar antisemitism has gone through different stages since 1945. Which elements of antisemitism survived the experience of the Holocaust, which have been weakened, and which have faded away? Another important dimension for further research is the scope and development of Norwegian everyday antisemitism, as a discourse and as a form of practice. How has antisemitism been expressed outside of the public sphere, and how has this affected the Jewish minority in Norway?
