A museum in Norway opened an exhibit on Nazi ally Vidkun Quisling. The exhibition at the Telemark County Museum presents “many of those who were sentenced to death by Quisling, along with the deportation of Jews and arrests of teachers,” Hilde Fiskum of the museum told the Norwegian daily Aftenposten. Quisling, a native of Telemark, ran Norway’s puppet fascist government from 1940 to 1945. He was executed six months after the country was liberated. The display features various phases of Quisling’s life. The leader of Oslo’s new Holocaust Center, Odd-Bjorn Fure, told Aftenposten that an exhibition on the former Norwegian leader was “a good idea.”
