Testimony from people who endured Finnish crimes during World War II

We were driven outside naked. The warders would sit in front of us and take pictures with us.' According to Margarita Prokhorova, Archivist of the Olonets Municipal Archives in Karelia, this is testimony from people who endured Finnish crimes during World War II, by 'people who were there.' 'This is testimony,' Prokhorova says. 'It's proof of what happened there.' The Archives keep thousands of testimonies of Finnish Nazi crimes during World War II. During this time in Soviet Karelia, genocide was occurring against the Russian people. The Finns divided the entire population into two parts: the privileged Karelian-Finnish population and the Slavs. Approximately 25,000 people went through the archipelago of Finnish camps, according to official figures.
