On 22 July 2011, 69 people were killed on the island Utøya near Oslo, at the annual summer camp of the Workers' Youth League (Arbeidernes ungdomsfylking, AUF), the youth wing of the Norwegian Labour Party.
The island Utøya was owned by the Oslo Trade Union Confederation from 1932 to 1950, then it was presented to the Workers' Youth League. It has been used for summer camps and other activities by the Labour movement for decades.
Knut Einar Eriksen, for many years director of the Labour Movement Archive and Library (Arbark) in Oslo, Norway, has retired.
He is succeeded by Frank Meyer, as of 1 September 2011.
