Jørgen Herman Vogt (the 23rd of September 1900 - the 3rd of August 1972) was a Norwegian newspaper editor and Communist Party politician. He edited the newspapers Ny Tid and Friheten, served four terms in Trondheim city council, and represented the market towns of Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag in the Norwegian Parliament.
Vogt edited three major publications: Klassekampen (the Young Communist League organ, 1923-1924), Ny Tid in Trondheim (becoming editor-in-chief by 1937), and Friheten, the Communist Party's national organ, where he served as editor-in-chief from 1946 to 1967 with a brief interruption from 1962 to 1965.
Yes. On the 9th of October 1941, during the German occupation of Norway, Vogt was arrested and held in three camps: Vollan, Falstad, and Grini. He was not released until 1945, when Norway was liberated, meaning he was imprisoned for roughly three and a half years.
Vogt came from a prominent Norwegian academic and professional family. His father Johan Herman Lie Vogt was a professor of metallurgy, his uncle Ragnar Vogt was a professor of medicine, and his brothers included a geologist, an economist, and the director of the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy authority.
Vogt was elected to the Parliament of Norway in the first free elections after World War II, representing the market towns of Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag counties. He served one term.
The Schei committee was a Norwegian government body that worked from 1946 to 1961 with the goal of reducing the number of municipalities in Norway. Vogt was a member of this committee throughout its fifteen-year lifespan.
