Although at least 764 Jews in Norway were killed, over 1,000 were rescued with the help of non-Jewish Norwegians who risked their lives to smuggle the refugees out of Norway, typically to Sweden.[1] since 1 January 2018[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., 67 of these individuals have been recognized by Yad Vashem as being Righteous Among the Nations.[2] Yad Vashem has also recognized the Norwegian resistance movement collectively.[3]
