Nah, the thing that they "found out" was a huge media storm back here, but after a while / ten new research-projects, the final summary was that there were something like 8 jews
returned and less than 40(?) Russians (mostly officers, spies, ie. valuable people) sent to Germany.
I highlighted the word 'returned', because all those eight men were originally from Germany or Austria. There were, in fact, about 200 jewish soldiers fighting *side by side* with the Germans and Finns during the Continuation War in 1941-1944. As a side note: during the war some of the Jews excelled so well in battle, that they were awarded high decorations from the Germans (Iron Cross for example!), but they refused to accept them, because of what the Nazis had been doing for the Jews lately...
Anyways, Finland was asked to give those people up (this is the thing the media began to exaggerate), but the Finnish government replied that they had no Jewish problem in their country. And that was it. Finland was such an insignificant place that the Nazis couldn't bother to start fighting over those 200 jews + their families
and at the same time such an important frontline that the Germans couldn't afford to lose their allies there.
Sooo.... There has actually been a memorial monument for those 8 jews sent back to Germany for like... 50 years I think? So no, we ain't gonna burn our history books just because one historian and the scandal media rewrote the 40's time-line
In fact, a much more bigger dealio was the handover of the "Russians" (people living in the border of Finland & Soviet Union, the Karelians & Ingrians) back to
CCCP . These were people who fleed from their homes when the wars began and moved to inner-Finland instead of inner Soviet Union, because they didn't want to live under the communist rule. Well.... when the peace was finally sued, one of the articles demanded the return of those people. So we had no other choice or otherwise our already beaten up country would've been conquered and annexed to the Union of Sosialist Soviet Republics. Every one of those people returned were sent straight away to labor camps in Siberia, because the "capitalist influence", as Stalin called it, was wanted to be kept as a secret/away from the public. Like later in DDR.

Ok, a long history lesson, but who cares - it was fun (no?).
Wanna see some more pics?
