Ludvig Hope

Last updated

Ludvig Hope (17 January 1871, Masfjorden – 26 October 1954) was a Norwegian lay preacher, writer, teacher and organizer. He was a popular preacher from the late 1890s, and could gather up to 5,000 listeners at his meetings. He was a central leader for the organization Kinamisjonen (later Norsk Luthersk Misjonssamband). His demand for a "free" communion, outside the churches, was met with opposition, but was finally settled by law in 1913. During World War II he was imprisoned for 15 months at the Grini concentration camp, after having signed a protest letter together with other church leaders. [1] [2] [3] [4]

World War II 1939–1945 global war

World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. A state of total war emerged, directly involving more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. The major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease, and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
