One Man, 77 Lives: The Anders Breivik Attack

On July 22, 2011, Norway experienced one of the deadliest mass killings in modern European history. Anders Behring Breivik, a far-right extremist, carried out a meticulously planned attack that began with a car bomb in Oslo and ended with a horrific mass shooting at a youth summer camp on the island of Utøya. In the span of just a few hours, 77 innocent lives were taken—many of them teenagers.

This episode unpacks the shocking timeline of events, Breivik's extremist ideology, and the devastating impact on Norway’s national psyche. We explore how a single individual, driven by hate and delusion, brought an entire nation to its knees—and how survivors and families continue to fight for justice and remembrance.
