Trygve Halvdan Lie (born July 16, 1896) started life in a poor part of Norway’s capital. His dad had left for America before he was born, and Trygve was raised by his mom Hulda, who ran a café. He grew up in a working-class suburb where few graduated beyond elementary school. In his spare time, Trygve would read newspapers aloud to workers from the local textile factoy. He also enjoyed sports and excelled at athletics, soccer and gymnastics. One of his teachers encouraged him to become a labor lawyer, and he took that advice to heart. He worked to pay his way through high school and university, and was also supported by local well-wishers. At law school his grades were dismal, but there was no time to re-sit exams. He had lost his heart to politics.
While working as a lawyer for the Norwegian Trade Union Federation, Trygve rose quickly through the ranks of the Norwegian Labor Party. Through his career he held several ministerial posts, most importantly as Foreign Minister while the Norwegian government was exiled in London during the Second World War.
