Who is Osvald Harjo?
Osvald Harjo was a Norwegian resistance member during World War II, and a prisoner in Soviet Gulag camps for more than a decade.
After being arrested and tortured by the Gestapo in 1942, he managed to escape from custody and fled into the Soviet Union. Here, he was accused for being a German spy, and convicted to 15 years forced labour. He was released in 1955, after pressure from the Norwegian Prime Minister during a visit in Moscow.
Harjo published the memoir book Moskva kjenner ingen tårer in 1956.
