Mostly, I talk about the four Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) as an entity but people sometimes ask me to treat the “Finnish situation” http://hdec.org/hdec/ separately because of the unique underlying facts.

Interest in Finland is even more heightened when I talk about how Wehrmacht and SS troops fought side-by-side with not only Finnish but Jewish-Finnish soldiers. As co-belligerents (not allies) Germany and Finland shared a common enemy in the Soviet Union. At no time was Finland occupied by Hitler or Stalin.

With many well-documented stories, I make history come alive through relevant visuals. Presentation venues include FIU, Florida International University, with its extensive Jewish Studies Program http://jewishstudies.fiu.edu/ and its Jewish Museum located on S. Miami Beach.

FIU also published an interview with me on p. 3 of https://miamieuc.fiu.edu/newsletter/2015/january-february-2015/janfeb2015-updated.pdf
