In The Price of Survival: Marcus Levin, Norwegian Holocaust
Humanitarian, Irene Levin Berman tells the story of her father’s
heroic attempts to save the Jews of Norway, as well as hundreds of
stateless refugees who had escaped other European countries in the
1930s, from deportation to Nazi concentration camps during World War
II. Marcus Levin worked tirelessly to help Jews before and after the
Nazis invaded Norway, and after the war he worked with the American
Joint Distribution Committee and organizations in Norway such as the
Jewish Social Unit to help find homes and jobs for the few Norwegian
Jews who survived the concentration camps as well as about 600
stateless Displaced Persons. In 1962 Marcus Levin was awarded a gold
Medal of Honor by King Olav of Norway in recognition of his efforts
during World War II.
