  Jan Baalsrud Med livet som innsats reddet kvinner og menn i Nord-Troms Jan Baalsrud fra en sikker død, da han flyktet fra tyskerne våren 1943. Den dramatiske flukten fra Rebbenesøya til Sverige som varte i to måneder, har blitt skildret både i bøker, filmer og teater. http://nordligefolk.no/sjosamene/historie-religion/jan-baalsrud/ Anders Larsen |

Sjit helvedes kåken
This historic house is known as both Sjåbakkenhuset (Sjåbakken’s house) and Sjit helvedes kåken (can be translated to a shithole of a shack) and has these two names for good reasons.
A man by the name Anton Sjåbakken lived in this house after coming back home after the 2nd World War. His original home, like the other houses in the Manndalen, had been burnt down by the Germans during the 2nd World War, in 1944.
