Description ▲
The war years, the loss of territory, the resettlement of the Karelian population, and the reparations paid to the Allied Forces, were experiences shared by most people living in Finland between 1939 and the late 1950s. Using a family's memoirs, the author shows how these traumatic events affected people; how they coped physically and emotionally.
