Title: Det var den gang
Description: "We remember the stories our grandparents told to us. Stories of families, and of friends. Of a time not soon forgotten. This is an oral legacy of a time for which we may read about but few of us can truly understand. In our own modest way, we began the ISS Oral History Project with the idea of learning more of the history of the Rogaland district and the resistance movement during World War II. But the scope of our investigation soon broadened as we heard stories of those imprisoned in foreign camps or surreptitiously working for the underground. The stories continue to astound. This book is designed to encourage the idea that history is living, that these students are, in fact, creating a legacy of their own. This is a book about families. And change. And surviving. Here, we serve mainly as their storytellers."--Page opposite t.p.verso
