However, with the help of patience and modern technology, researchers are slowly piecing together the puzzle.

Da Peter Øvig gravede sig ned i en research om seksuelle overgreb mod børn på danske børnehjem, viste der sig et uhyggeligt billede: Overgrebene var omfattende, velorganiserede og stod ofte på over flere årtier. Samtidig viste det sig, at både børn og ansatte på børnehjemmene havde forsøgt at råbe ledelse og myndigheder op, alt sammen forgæves. Gennem otte års arbejde mødte Peter Øvig en række tidligere børnehjemsbørn, som fortalte om organiserede seksuelle overgreb, de havde oplevet på børnehjem rundt i landet, især i 1960’erne og -70’erne.

"Gudrun og det hvide snit" afdækker et grumt stykke danmarkshistorie. Gennem sin barndom har forfatter og journalist Janne Aagaard besøgt sin mors moster Gudrun på et plejehjem i Arden og undret sig over Gudruns skæbne: "Hun var lidt af en legende i vores familie. Gudrun, der var indlagt stort set hele sit liv, damen med bare et ben, hende der elskede mænd. Skammen og skylden lå som et stort tæppe over hende og hendes begrædelige liv." Gudrun er en af de 4500 danskere, der fra midten af 1940’ene og 40 år frem fik det hvide snit - det sidste blev udført i 1983.

Kirja taustoittaa vuoden 1883 näkökulmasta Savitaipaleella vuonna 1820 syntyneen kulttuurivaikuttaja D.E.D. Europaeuksen (k.1884) elämäntyötä lapsuudesta vanhuusikään saakka. Hänen toimintansa perustana oli jatkuva tiedon hankkiminen kansanrunouden, kielitieteen, arkeologian ja laajemminkin koko kulttuurimme alueilta yhteisöjen, kansojen ja ihmiskunnan parhaaksi. Kansanrunouden kerääjänä hän merkittävällä tavalla oli tukemassa tohtori Elias Lönnrotin toimittaman Kalevalan uuden version syntyä (1849). Myös sen arviointiin Europaeus osallistui.

In the early morning of 9 April 1940 a fleet of German ships entered the Oslofjord. The Norwegian artillery delayed the German advance long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945. In a magnificent feat of storytelling, Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath.
