Norway's chief of police Monday expressed "regret" over the police force's role in the arrests and deportations of Jews from the German-occupied country during World War II.
"On behalf of Norwegian police and those involved in the deportations of Norwegian Jews, I wish to express regret," Odd Reidar Humlegard said on public broadcaster NRK.
The apology coincided with the 70th anniversary of the deportation of 532 Norwegian Jews on a vessel named Donau.
During the war, 772 Norwegian Jews and Jewish refugees were deported to Nazi concentration camps. Only 34 survived.
