The museum has a large collection of objects from WWII. By putting this collection in context we wish to evoke reflections on what happened to the rule of law when a foreign power takes control and introduces its own rules and laws. Students and teachers are challenged on what a “rettsstat” is and what happens when it ceases to exist.
Some key questions:
- What is the rettsstat / the just rule of law?
- What happens when certain groups are excluded from this state?
- What is the police’s role and how did this role change during the war?
- How did the death penalty became law again in Norway after 40 years without it?
- Was the legal purge completely in accordance with the just rule of law (the rettsstat)?
