One of the 10 best books of 2023 in Adresseavisen

“Like in his previous books, Stranger demonstrates his excellent command of this documentary fiction technique. The descriptions come to life and breathe, appearing highly credible; we feel the anxiety of those involved as Stranger adeptly builds up tensions and atmospheres, effectively intertwining them.”
Leif Gjerstad, Bok365, the best books of 2023

“He keeps the memories of the war’s victims alive. This is painful reading. The parallels to events in today’s Europe make the book one of the year’s most important …. It’s about how war challenges people’s values and attitudes, written with insight and warmth – and knowledge.”
Vigdis Moe Skarstein, Adresseavisen, 6/6 stars

“Painful and gripping. It’s a dramatic and painful story of Jewish persecution from wartime that Simon Stranger offers in his new novel Museum for Murderers and Rescuers … As in his previous books, Stranger demonstrates his mastery of this documentary fiction technique superbly. The descriptions come to life and feel very credible, we sense the anxiety of those involved, while Stranger effectively builds up tension and atmospheres and ties them together.”
Leif Gjerstad, Bok365, 5/6 stars

“Once again, Simon Stranger has done a remarkable job of showing us some blank spots in our history. Thus, the genocide of the Norwegian Jews can be retold in new ways. It is extremely exciting and challenging.”
Inger Bentzrud, Dagbladet, 5/6 stars

“Stranger is a master when it comes to making historical events come alive … what he has achieved here is impressive … a powerful examination of some of the most dramatic events in Norwegian history”
Steinar Brandslet, Stavanger Aftenblad. 5/6 stars

“Painful history from Simon Stranger … Simon Stranger’s follow-up to Keep Saying Their Names and the story of the Feldmann murders in 1942 is painful reading.”
