Investigative journalist Lena Kalle discovers that the Norwegian “German girls” story is sealed in Norwegian archives, and starts a year-long hunt to find out what happened to the Norwegian women. Shocking stories from the few surviving women and witnesses reveal an unknown chapter in Norwegian post-war history. Along the way, Kalle encounters significant resistance from the Norwegian state, but also unexpected help from inside the system. Unforgivable documents the brutal, state-sanctioned abuses against Norwegian women who fell in love with German soldiers during World War II, and questions who were cast as heroes and villains when the story of the Norwegian post-war settlement was written.
