Jewish Oslo – A Small Community with a Powerful Story
Jewish life in Oslo is deeply rooted in resilience, identity, and heritage. Though small in numbers, the Jewish community in Norway’s capital has played a meaningful role in the country’s cultural and historical landscape since the mid-19th century.

At the heart of Jewish Oslo stands the Oslo Synagogue, built in 1920, which remains an active place of worship and community gathering. Nearby is Det Mosaiske Trossamfund (DMT), the official Jewish congregation of Oslo, offering religious services, education, and events that keep Jewish life vibrant.

The Jewish Museum in Oslo, located in a former synagogue, tells the story of Norway’s Jews through poignant exhibitions—particularly the deportation of Norwegian Jews during the Holocaust, when 772 were sent to Auschwitz, with only a handful returning.

Despite past persecution, the community has rebuilt itself with strength and dignity. Today, Jewish Oslo is a symbol of survival and cultural pride, offering visitors a meaningful and thought-provoking journey through one of Scandinavia’s lesser-known, but deeply moving Jewish histories.
