	Finnish war children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During World War II some 70,000 war children were evacuated from Finland to Scandinavia, chiefly to Sweden.
		In comparison to Finland's approximately 23,000 military casualties in the Winter War, the 66,000 in the Continuation war, and the total of 2,000 civilian casualties – and the roughly equally many seriously wounded – the war children were, of course, not physically injured, let alone killed.
		Spanish War children, children evacued from the north of the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War to Britain, Belgium, the Soviet Union and other European countries.

	War children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Children whose either parent was part of an occupying force or whose parent(s) collaborated with enemy forces were innocent of any war crimes committed by their parents.
		As the war ended the children and their mothers were viewed as outcasts by many among the general populace who felt antagonized by the war and everything that had to do with Germany.
		In conjunction with the claim brought before the courts by the war children in 1999, a motion was filed in September 2000 to national headlines alleging 10 war children had unknowingly and involuntarily been subjected to medical experiments with LSD during the 1950s and 1960s.

	Rough Edge: Children of Bodom CD Reviews
		Children Of Bodom owe a great debt to all of the styles of heavy metal that have preceded them, yet their music still defies categorization.
		Children Of Bodom focus their energies on their musical talents and craft ornate musical passages that rely heavily on the interplay of their dual guitar attack and classically-tinged keyboards.
		Sure, Children of Bodom employ fl metal influences, more so on the vocals than anything else, but what we really have here is a band who merges various sounds and textures into a style that could only be called their own.

	Behind the Headlines
		In the days prior to the war, we were told by secretary of defense William Cohen that "there could be as many as 100,000" victims of a "holocaust" that was going on in Kosovo.
		The Kosovo war was popular with the American media: it was, after all, supposed to have been a war against Serbian "racism." It was such a politically correct war that several well-known leftists, such as Todd Gitlin, and even some avowed Marxists, supported Bill Clinton's rape of Yugoslavia.
		The farther away we move from the actual events of World War II, the larger, it seems, he looms as the epitome of evil incarnate, the one word that is supposed to end all discussion of whether or not the US ought to intervene in hotspots around the world.

		The writer, whose father had just joined the Finnish army in the summer of 1939, believes that most people are tired of the propaganda films and history books that leave out "uncle Joseph's" part in starting the war and murdering millions of innocent people, and simply magnify Stalin's defeat of Hitler.
		Receiving great admiration abroad, the Finnish people became an example to all small nations of the world that are harassed by larger countries bent on justifying their ends by force.
		It was disastrous for the Soviets because they lost, by some Finnish estimates, close to one million men and for little Finland, especially the Karelian people, because Karelia was lost and over 420,000 people lost their homes, including the writer's parents and grandparents.

	THE SOVIET-FINNISH WAR (1939-40)
		President, that the independence of the Finnish Republic as a State was recognised spontaneously by the Soviet Government on December 31, 1917, and that the sovereignty of Finland is guaranteed by the Treaty of Peace between the RSFSR and Finland, signed on October 14, 1920.
		The Finnish government’s rejection of the Soviet proposals and its categorical rejection of the compromises proposed by Moscow demonstrated that it was being backed by one or more foreign powers to cling to a boundary which represented a serious threat to the security of the Soviet Union.
		The Finnish government replied on 27 November, denying that their troops had been responsible for the incident complained of and proposing, firstly, that discussions should take place on the mutual withdrawal of both Finnish and Soviet troops from the frontier and, secondly, that a joint inquiry should be held into the incident:

		Children of Bodom's fifth album, and their first without guitarist Alexander Kuoppala, is an attempt by the band to appeal to and increase their stateside fan base.
		But since Children of Bodom also dabble in keyboards, orchestras, and somewhat tuneful vocals, this album has a melodic edge to it, and makes the band fall under the "melodic death metal" label.

	IMDb user comments for Äideistä parhain (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The film highlights a significant event in Finnish history -- that during WWII, around 70,000 Finnish children were sent to Sweden among other countries to be temporarily hosted as their real parents stayed in Finland to continue in the war.
		As the movie continued, the sense of the unknown, a certain amount of foreboding and the ever-present desire to connect with family was also subtly introduced to give a very full sense of the conflict within this child's mind.
		During the second world war a boy is being evacuated from Finland to Sweden and back to Finland.

		Director Mantila crafts a touching coming-of-age story about the tentative way children enter into friendships, and how adults relate to their children (and often refuse to believe them).

	european-films.net - review: Äideistä parhain (Mother of Mine) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The fictional story of just one of the 70.000 Finnish war children who were placed with foster parents in neutral Sweden while the Finns fought the Russians, Äideistä parhain is unnecessarily bookended by contemporary scenes that diminish the power of its central section.
		Aesthetically misty – the film looks like it has been shot with a permanently hazed over lens – the film’s central theme is less nebulous; even the title explicitly refers to the mother-child relationship that is the crux of the story.
		Where the screenplay falters is in its present tense, where an aged Eero is invited to Sweden for the funeral of his foster mother and he decides to ask his own mother about her motives for sending him off during the war.
