«Righteous: Sæthre Haakon». @yadvashem (på engelsk). Yad Vashem. Besøkt 15. februar 2024. «That same evening [Robert] Levin had a visit from Dr. Diesen – Chief Medical Doctor of Oslo, and the father of Ernst Diesen, a famous cabaret performer at the Chat Noir. In order to protect Levin, Dr. Diesen had Levin hospitalized in the Ullevål Hospital under a false diagnosis. He instructed Levin to pretend he was suffering from a nervous breakdown, and assigned him to Department 6, which he felt was the safest. The chief physician of that department, Dr. Haakon Sæthre, made sure that the “patient” was looked after and kept from harm's way. (---) In addition to hiding 12 other Jews in the Ullevål Hoopital, Dr. Sæthre was involved in other activities of the Resistance. In February 1945 he was seized in his home and taken hostage in retaliation for an assassination attempt by the Norwegian Resistance movement. He was shot to death on 9 February 1944. On 12 March 2013 Yad Vashem recognized Dr. Haakon Sæthre and Dr. Andreas Diesen as Righteous Among the Nations.»
