Nina's Children

Ninas barn

The story about Nina Hasvoll Meyer and the Jewish children's home in Oslo during WW2, and what came out if it.

Overview

After Anschluss — the Nazi invasion and incorporation of Austria in 1938 — a group of Jewish children travel from Vienna to Oslo for summer camp. But when the time comes for them to return home, the political conditions on the continent have worsened and they can no longer return to their families. In Norway, an orphanage is established to look after these effectively homeless children, one of whom is director Nina Grünfeld’s father.
