«Hougen Bjørn & Torbjorg». @yadvashem (på engelsk). Yad Vashem. Besøkt 14. februar 2024. «Bjørn was a professor at the university of Oslo and Torbjørg was at home with their son, Pål, b.1930. Amalie and Dan were immediately brought to Bjørn Hougen’s sister Helga for some days and then to his cousin, also by the name, Helga Hougen. Meanwhile, Bjørn who was a member of the Norwegian Underground*, arranged for mother and child to be sent on to Sweden. Indeed, about a week after their arrival at cousin Helga’s, a member of the Underground contacted them and took both to the border with neutral Sweden. Both Amelie and her son Dan Laksov survived thanks to the Hougen family. On October 27, 2002, Yad Vashem recognized Bjørn and Torbjørg Hougen, as well as Helga Hougen and Helga Hougen as Righteous Among the Nations.»
