Do you understand the difference between Kareila and Karelian isthmus?
Only in Petrozavodsk there were 5 concentration camps, arranged by Finnish occupants, where almost all non-Finnish/Saam population was held, getting almost no food and forced to work. It's a fact. Facts are stubborn things.
This concetration camps were for Soviet citizens, not Finnish. I guess your family was from Finland, not USSR?

Fact is we have/had couple revisionists, just like Irving, in Finland too and because we're democracy where people have a right to express their thoughts, even if they're far from the truth, by writing a books... well what can you do. It's up to you if you want to believe that fiction.
If you want real revisionists - look here:
http://www.prokarelia.net/en/Funny that people pointing at your country's military crimes are called "revisionists". I hope that people responsible for this crimes were under court-martial and got appropriate punishment.

Anyways none of my family died in concentration camps but were evacuated to the central Finland and got land to live from government.
I'm glad to read this.
I respect Finnish people, I admire their heroism and devotion to their history, I was really impressed when I was on tour with Grendel, Camo and other Iebreakers last summer, how carefully they study all the details of the War. I had the honour to put flowers to the graves of Finnish warriors... But you guys were no angels, like all WWII participants.
