The story of the book is about Moritz Nachtstern, the Norwegian jew who was arrested by the Nazis and brought to Auschwitz. When there he was picked out to be sent to Sachsenhausen where the Nazis had made arrangements for their Operation Bernhard where the plan was to make fake money to destabilize the allies economy.
Just realized that a movie has been released this year about Operation Bernhard http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_F%C3%A4lscher.
My latest book was yet again about the World War II, this time about the Russian reporter Vasilij Grossman. A very good book, very interesting to read about the war in a Russian context. More about the writer in Norwegian http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilij_Grossman

Også Harald Strømme i reklamebyrået Try advarer nå annonsørene mot å trekke seg fra «De 7 dødssyndene». Strømme sier han tror etablerte merkevarer som Coca-Cola og Expert er bedre tjent med å bli identifisert med Kristopher Schau enn med Finn Jarle Sæle, redaktøren av i Norge i dag.

I totally support TV2 and Schau, and remember: do not let Finn Jarle Sæle define what is good television or not
Have been in Vienna since Saturday, traveled down early to participate at the User Group Advisory Council , and have been attending the conference since Monday. I have learned a lot, but you better check at the blog at my companies website http://www.workplace.no/ (In Norwegian). But apart from the daily agenda it is always important to get to know people and expand my network. So for that reason I agreed to go out on town yesterday with Brian even though I had planned to go to bed early 🙂 So we hooked up with his colleague Tim. Tim had heard that the Kju-Club was supposed to be a good one, so we ended up there – and that is confirmed as well:
