Hear the little-known story of the Jews who served in the Finnish army fighting alongside German soldiers against the Soviet invaders. Ariel Nadbornik will present personal testimonials of Finnish Jewish soldiers through selected clips from the documentary David: Stories of Honour and Shame and will continue the discussion exploring the current state of Jewish life in Finland.
