About this audio guide
This guide to the Norwegian Holocaust Center in Oslo stands you outside Villa Grande, the Bygdøy mansion Vidkun Quisling finished and named Gimle while he led Norway's collaborationist government. It follows the autumn of nineteen forty-two, when Norway's Jews became the targets of that government, and the neighbours and policemen who sent warnings. Best heard on the lawn facing the villa's front.
