Translated to English - Yes, I remember! Seljord in War Years 1940 - 1945

Google translated text from back cover: As everyone knows, Seljord has an interesting and varied history. We have seng and soger who live among us to this day. But also in recent times we had events that left their mark on Seljord.

It was with great interest that I began to look at the drawings that Gunnar Sveinsson had collected. When I first heard about these ideas, I thought that now there was a book about the events on Skorve.

For those of us who arrived after 1945, and especially for those who moved to Seljord, this book will provide a rich experience. Yes, you don't just need to be connected to Seljord to be interested in this. At the right time, Sveinsson succeeded in finding people who could share thoughts and events from those years with a warm, but also rich storytelling ability.

We should be grateful that someone finds the time and interest to work with local history. Fortunately, Seljord has many people who can do this.

I would recommend many people to start the book. Read the paragraph several times. It is not just war history that is here. The little everyday things are included. And not least - we get to experience our fine dialect.

Thanks to Gunnar and everyone who has contributed.

Seljord, 23 April 1993
