Never again starts with understanding

22 July is one of the darkest chapters in Norway’s recent history. Precisely for that reason, it must not be forgotten. The 22 July Centre exists to preserve the memory of the terrorist attacks on the Government Quarter and Utøya on 22 July 2011. It also seeks to foster an understanding of what happened, how it could happen, and why this history continues to matter to us today.
