Finland's alliance with Germany came with conditions..... one of those was freedom for the Jews. There was no persecution, segregation or death camps. Hundreds of Jews were deported from Germany to Finland adding to the already present Jewish population, with some actually joining the Finnish army to fight against Russia. Imagine that... being a Jewish soldier, fighting in favor a German ally in a German made uniform, while your relatives are being put to death in Germany...... Only 8 Jews were deported from Finland to death camps in German occupied Europe, they being previously deported Austrian Jews. 7 of those 8 were immediately executed upon arrival. In the year 2000, the Prime Minister of Finland issued a formal apology for this.
