This was the largest of all World War II children's transports, and although acknowledged today as ""a great social-historical mistake"" it has received surprisingly little attention. This is the first English-language account of Finland's war children and their experiences, told through the survivors' own words. Supported by an extensive introduction, a bibliography of secondary sources, and over two dozen photographs, this book testifies to the often-lifelong traumas endured by youthful survivors of war 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xChildren$zFinland 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xEvacuation of civilians$zFinland 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Finnish 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xChildren$zSweden 606 $aChildren$zSweden$vBiography 606 $aChildren$zFinland$vBiography 606 $aFinns$zSweden$vBiography 610 $a1939. 610 $a1945. 610 $aaccount of finlands war childrens experiences. 610 $abibliography of secondary sources. 610 $adenmark. 610 $aextensive introduction. 610 $afinland. 610 $afinnish children. 610 $agreat social historical mistake. 610 $ahistorical nonfiction. 610 $alargest wwii children transport. 610 $alifelong traumas. 610 $anarrative account of finlands war children. 610 $aover two dozen photographs. 610 $asent away to protect them. 610 $asoldiers fought superior axis powers. 610 $asoviet and german forces. 610 $asweden. 610 $awwii. 610 $ayouthful survivors of war. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xChildren 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xEvacuation of civilians 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xChildren 615 0$aChildren 615 0$aChildren 615 0$aFinns 676 $a940.53161 702 $aSaffle$b Sue 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788129003321 996 $aTo the bomb and back$93791263 997 $aUNINA
