Finnish Volunteers Were Involved in the Mass Murder of Jews in Ukraine
(Jerusalem Post) Tamara Zieve - The Simon Wiesenthal Center's chief Nazi-hunter, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, has appealed to Finnish President Sauli Niinisto to launch an official inquiry into the participation of Finnish volunteers in Holocaust crimes in Ukraine in 1941. Research published in October by Dr. Andre Swanstrom, chairman of the Finnish Society of Church History, strongly suggests that Finnish volunteers who served in the Viking Division of the Waffen-SS were actively involved in the mass murder of Jews. Zuroff noted that similar revelations were made recently regarding the role played by SS volunteers from Denmark and Norway.
