Jewish journalist Monica Csango wrote an article in Aftenposten titled "Frightened into silence", about her experiences as a Jew in Norway.
Norwegian blog "Norway, Israel and the Jews" brings a Google translation of the entire article. I'll just translate one story:
A few years ago, something happened that changed a lot for me. My son started going to the Jewish kindergarten in Oslo. My mother and the child's father, who isn't Jewish, took the two year old to kindergarten. When they brought him, an adult Norwegian woman was standing across the street. She spat on the ground and said "yuck!" while she looked at the two, who stood there with the child in their arms.
Not long afterwards, I decided to take my son out of kindergarten. Not only because of that woman, but because I thought it was too risky to have my son there. Every day I had to pass a security check. Because both the government and the Security Service know that the kindergarten area is a terrorist target. The Jewish community know that someone doesn't like them - and maybe me.
