Center for Studies of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities: what Wikipedia removed

The Center for Studies of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities is a Norwegian research institution affiliated with the University of Oslo. The 2015 opening stated the center’s work “will extend to studies of antisemitism in and outside of Norway, in the past, present, and future.” The opening today describes it only as “a Norwegian research institution,” though the word survives twice in the body. A reader today learns the institution is affiliated with the University of Oslo but not that its own stated mission includes studying antisemitism.

The word “occupation” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 2. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
