You're standing at the memorial to the victims of the Scandinavian Star, right by Akershus Fortress in Oslo. Start with the sculpture. A mother carries her baby and leads another child by the hand. That little boy is reaching back for the teddy bear he has dropped. It's a small gesture, but it says a lot about what's being remembered here. The memorial was unveiled on 7 April 2006, exactly sixteen years after the disaster.
