Several of the families of the resistance fighters during the war announce trials if the book by Mars Michelet “What did the home front know?” not retired.
His attorney John Christian Elden tells NRK that they are considering going to court if that doesn’t happen, but he waits and thinks it won’t be necessary.
– In the first instance, we hope that Gyldendal will remove the book and have some adults read it, and possibly come back with a book they can respond to, says Elden.
He says this means a lot to the families involved.
– It is very important to them when their ancestors, who are heroes, are scolded and hanged in ways for which there is no cover or source base. They need a reaction. Whether the judiciary is the best is something we must consider, says Elden.

Gyldendal CEO Arne Magnus says they, along with the author, have done extensive work on the book.
In late October, Dreyers Forlag released a response to the book in which three historians address the use of sources and presentation in Michelet’s book.
