 But when we learn about World War II in school, some of us may not have learned how other countries were affected by the war. At the Hartwood Senior Living Center in Crosby today, almost 100 people learned about the war's effects on Norway thanks to someone who survived the war. Dr. Jan Hansen was 10 years old when the Nazi invasion of Norway took place. In his and his wife's lecture, Dr. Hansen discussed his personal story of the war and the untold stories of the war in the eyes of the Norwegian people. Attendees learned about the brutal national sampling party in Norway, the hundreds of prison and concentration camps in Norway, and the scorched earth tactics used by the Nazis. When we came back from our last trip over there, which was about a year and a half ago, we decided we're going to start doing some research on this. When we found out those stories were fantastically seldom told stories that were of interest to people. Dr. Hansen and his family immigrated to the United States after World War II. He attended St. Olaf College and taught economics for 40 years at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire.
