Norwegian television will screen the NBC-TV series “Holocaust” next month. Norway will be the third Scandinavian country, after Sweden and Denmark, to show the four-part series. The showing of the film has provoked some–strange reactions. Thus, a travel agency in Sweden advertises “an all-inclusive tour to where the massacres took place — Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau — for the price of 395 Krona” or some $80. The Danes, on the other hand, launched a public campaign to collect one million Krone for the Sharei Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem as a memorial to the Holocaust victims.
