Today Aftenposten writes that NTNU has been commissioned by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development to design an information center on 22 July, the Government buildings.
The exhibition will house, among other parts of the car bomb, equipment bags Behring Breivik had brought to Utøya and his fake police ID and badges.
It gets lawyer John Christian Elden to react. In a twitter message he says no thanks to what he describes as a “Breivik Museum in Government buildings.”
Compares with Ground Zero
Government and modernization Minister Jan Tore Sanner told Aftenposten it worked with the center has been important for all parties that the center should not be a memorial, but an information center. Sanner is convinced that knowledge is our most important weapon in the fight against violence, hatred and extremism.
Elden says that the intention to Sanner is good, but believes it is problematic that this happens in the workplace for many of those who remember the attack in 2011. He uses the memorial after September 11 that comparison.
– Contrary to Ground Zero which is purely a museum, and where they would rather not have gone so far as to exhibit Bin Laden’s assets should people working in the government quarter, writes Elden in a text message to Aftenposten.
Elden was engagement lawyer during the 22 July issue, and his firm represented 115 relatives and survivors at the trial of Breivik. He is most concerned with how the exhibition affect the employees of the government building.
– The employees need not remember about their attacker. We have an excellent straight museum in Trondheim. There can send the remains to Breivik and other horror and torture thing. So, one in Oslo and on Utøya remember the victims and not the perpetrator, says Elden.
The contents are new to the union
Bjørn Halvorsen is the leader in NTL Central Administration, the union until around 2000 that is employed in ministries and Government Administration Services. He says there have been reactions to the exhibition.
– Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has informed us that there have been no reactions to certain employees of the Government buildings will be able to look straight down at the exhibition from her office window.
Halvorsen says that the employees of the government building has had good access to information about the process of work with the new government quarter and the employees have been informed about the exhibition officially opens on July 22 on the first floor of the tower block.
But the equipment used terrorist was to be a part of the exhibition, was again the leader of the union.
– The contents of the exhibition were new to me, says Halvorsen.
He emphasizes that the union has not taken down the design of monuments or exhibitions by terror, but has concentrated on working conditions and safety should be addressed in the new government quarter.
– Difficult for those who work there
Svein Holden was the prosecutor in the July 22 trial. He understands that it can be perceived as problematic that such items be included in a museum in the workplace for many of those who experienced the terror up close.
– That the certainly seem difficult for many of those who were there when the bomb narrowly and daily must consult the site to work. There may be an additional painful reminder of what happened, says Holden.
He also believes that the exhibition seems like a natural extension of the openness that was assumed by terror in 2011.
– Most government agencies that handled 22 July -saken, were pretty unanimous that there should be some transparency about what happened. That I mean both the handling of the criminal case, Gjørv Commission and the handling of political organ shows.
– Shows the brutality of what happened
The national support group after 22 July together with AUF initiators of the center. Aftenposten Thursday reported leader Lisbeth Kristine Røyneland that they have had many good discussions.
– It’s going to be very strong for many, said Røyseland Aftenposten.
She also said that those who are most affected are invited to previews.
AUF has been keen to tell as much as possible of the story.
– What is well the center is that it shows the brutality of what happened, but also about the beautiful happened in our country in the days and weeks after 22 July. It is important to learn the center is that one sees clearly that the perpetrator did was a politically motivated terrorist attack, which is also important to take into forward the time when we must ensure that we are not exposed to such a thing again, said leader Mani Hussaini told Aftenposten on Thursday.
