On the 26th of November 1942 the German cargo ship DS Donau sailed past this exact spot. On board were 532 unsuspecting Norwegian Jews, crammed together into the cargo hold on their way to the concentration camp at Auschwitz, 303 men, 188 women and 42 children. They arrived on the 1st of December 1942 and the women, children and elderly were sent directly to the gas chambers. Of those who left only 9 returned to Norway. DS Donau was later sunked by the norwegian resistance movement.
