The monument, which honors members of the communist Pelle Group and their accomplishments in 1944, was unveiled in November.

The designer, Kirsten Kokkin, blamed the misspelling of felleskap on her English-language spellchecker. “I was working on the text in the U.S., and I didn’t have a Norwegian word-processing program. The text has been checked by three people other than me. So it was a mistake, but it can’t be changed after the event,” Kokkin said. Kokkin said that some of the other errors are simply examples of artistic expression. “I didn’t want to use too many characters… we shouldn’t forget that this is a work of art, an artistic retelling of a historic moment in time. It shouldn’t be thought of as a document,” she said.
