Abstract
This chapter sketches out the way in which the collective memory of the Holocaust has been forged in Finland since 1945. It presents a broad overview of the issues and events where the Holocaust was discussed in Finland, therefore offering some glimpses into the place of the Holocaust in Finland's historical culture. In 1939 there were about 2,000 Jews living in Finland including approximately 350 Jewish refugees who had managed to reach the country before the outbreak of World War II. The collapse of the Soviet Union had a profound effect on the way in which countries in the Soviet orbit began to reassess their histories and memories of World War II.
