Kaare Haake Petersen from Ballangen arrived Falstad on November 19th, 1944. On his 50th birthday, Januar 1, 1945, he was given this bowl from some of his fellow-prisoners. It’s made out of a tin can, where the sides are shredded and attached to a wire ring on top. Only four days later, on January 5, Kaare Petersen was sent to Grini, where he was imprisoned until Liberation. Kaare Hake Petersen's daughter Gunnhild Kirkbak gave the bowl to the Falstad Centre's archives in 2008.

38: Borghild Bjørgums bunad
Under krigen spilte lokalsamfunnet rundt Falstad fangeleir en betydelig rolle for fangene. Blant annet sto de for en storstilt smugleraktivitet av såvel brev, som pakker og matvarer. De bisto også pårørende og sørget for transport og overnatting ved besøk i leiren.En av disse lokale hjelperne var Borghild Bjørgum som bestyrte telefonsentralen på Ekne. Etter krigen ga falstadfanger fra Ålesund uttrykk for sin takknemlighet ved å forære henne denne Sunnmørs-bunaden.
During the war, the local community around Falstad prison camp played a significant role for the prisoners. Among other things they arranged large-scale smuggling of letters, packages and food. They also provided transportation and accommodation for the prisoners’ relatives when visiting them in the camp.
One of these local helpers was Borghild Bjørgum who administered the telephone switchboard at Ekne. After the war, Falstad prisoners from Ålesund expressed their gratitude towards her by giving her this bunad (national costume) from Sunnmøre.
