The Norwegian extreme-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik’s attacks nearly three years ago caused both a very public, national trauma and untold stories of personal grief in Norway. Now plans for a national memorial for the 69 who died on the Utoya island is being met with protests from some of the victims’ relatives – as well as neighbours – who say they don’t want a daily reminder of what they witnessed on 22 July 2011. I met some of them at the site of the proposed memorial.
