Nearly 10 years after Anders Behring Breivik tried to kill her on the Norwegian island of Utoeya, survivors -- many of whom were teenagers at the time -- are determined to confront the far-right ideology which was a catalyst for the attack.

UTOEYA, NORWAY -- Nearly 10 years after Anders Behring Breivik tried to kill her on the Norwegian island of Utoeya, Astrid Hoem is back there to explain to a group of teenagers how she ran for her life and hid in a beach cove while Breivik murdered others around her.

Breivik detonated a car bomb outside the prime minister's office in Oslo, killing eight, before driving to Utoeya and shooting 69 people gathered at a Labour Party youth camp on July 22, 2011. "Those opinions, those conspiracies, that hate... is stronger now than it was ten years ago," Hoem told Reuters.

Survivors see some mainstream right-wing politicians legitimizing this view by being critical of Muslims and labeling them as a threat to Norwegian society. But party leader Sylvi Listhaug said it would continue to push for tighter immigration and integration policies.
