In June 1944, after two wars with the Soviet Union, the Finnish
region of Karelia was ceded to the Soviet Union. As a result, the
Finnish population of Karelia, nearly 11% of the Finnish
population, was moved across the new border. The war years, the
loss of territory, the resettlement of the Karelian population, and
the reparations that had to be 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 in all spheres of their
lives and also how they coped physically and emotionally.
