Do you happen to remember where in the book did she claim that? I’m honestly trying to just figure out where in the book you read that since I don’t think anyone else came off from reading it with such a drastically different number. What everyone else, such as the other book you mentioned, keeps saying is “approximately 100”. It’s such a big disparity that it’s interesting.

Such proud, unapologetic, arrogant lying.

Okay but really, last reply. Have a nice life. Hope you find a way to stop huffing your own farts.

I mean tbh I think you’ve just made a mistake and are too pigheaded to admit it. But I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt, it might just be an honest case of misremembering. If you have the book around or otherwise remember where those numbers were claimed in it we could easily check and that’d be that.

already told you that Sana esrimated 500 from a single deportation.

She said 500 people were deported (in that single instance), not that 500 Jews were deported… You are misremembering or misunderstood what she said, I’m sorry to say.

I will not be replying further

I was about to ask if you have the book right in front of you and could perhaps check that what you remember reading is actually what it said. That way we could both double check that you got it right. But I somehow doubt that would happen anyway. If you have the book right now it wouldn’t hurt to double check.

Another thing I was thinking of was that in what language did you read it? If you read it in Finnish, are you a native speaker or fluent? Because a misunderstanding could be down to that.

I’m honestly just trying my hardest to find out what part you are citing and why you’d come up with such a wildly different number from everyone else. I know you said you wouldn’t reply anymore but it would be very helpful in figuring out this mystery.

These are numbers from the actual books. The screenshot is the first work you cited, contradicting you. The numbers in the above comment comment come from Sana’s book. As I’ve explained many times, you misunderstood what you read and thought all those deported were Jews, but neither makes that claim. Most were deported for other reasons.

You obviously prize your guesswork and imagination over the historical work you were provided

I don’t, that’s why I was hoping you’d show me where in those books these claims are. Since from reading them, they thoroughly contradict your numbers. You say you can’t force me to read but I’m constantly asking you to show where in the books these claims are so I could read it and see what part you are citing. Because the parts I’ve posted here, again, directly contradict your numbers. Clearly there’s something wrong so just telling where in the books these numbers are you are basing your claim would be very helpful.

You are repeatedly announcing, with certainty, how correct you are based on a screenshot of a review of several books, in contradiction of what the book I cited will tell you.

The screenshot is from the first book you cited. I literally have it right here in front of me. You are telling me one thing and the book you say you are basing your numbers on says another. It’s a funny situation. It’s like when people claim something based on the Bible but when asked to show where it says so, they’re suddenly unable to come up with any pages or actual quotations, it’s just “it’s in there”. I bet it is friend, I bet it is.

I don’t think I’m better than the books you cited. I trust those books. You mentioned two books who both directly contradict you by saying the number was “approximately 100”. Sana says out of the around 3000 people, “at least 74 were Jews”. You mistook the total number of handed over POWs for the number of handed over Jews.

If you think it gives a different number, one that nobody else seems to think is included in those books, please be so kind as to show where in either book.

Sana estimated 500 from a single deportation, by the way.

She did, but they are not talking about Jews specifically but all the people handed over. Like I’ve tried to explain to you many times, the larger numbers you are citing are for all the people handed over to Germans. Out of those people, Sana estimated that at least 74 were Jews, but since it’s uncertain, it’s said that it’s “approximately 100”.

I think you’ve been under the false assumption that all deportations or even significant percentage were Jews, even though both books say that they constituted “approximately 100” out of the around 3000 people handed over. Most weren’t Jews but handed over for other reasons.

It can be hard to admit to having been wrong, even when it’s an understandable mistake like this, but literally no one else read the books you mentioned and came away with thinking it was thousands of Jews. First book clearly says (citing the second) it was “approximately 100”. Thousands would be at least ten times that.

You are trying to convince me that these books have a ten times bigger number than what everyone else seems to think they said (including the author of the first book), but you can’t give any quotations, you can’t give anything concrete other than “it’s there trust me bro”.

I doubt anyone is buying what you are selling. Now would be a good time to either admit to the mistake or put money where your mouth is and actually cite the works like I have.

I’m sorry but they are just not saying what you thought they were. Thousands of extradited people yes, thousands of Jews no. If you have quotes to share or something then please do, because now it just seems like there’s been a mistake on your part.

I am looking at both but I honestly think you just made a mistake and thought the total number of extraditions was all Jews when the claim is just that “approximately 100” were.

If there’s part on either that goes against the quote shown, that jumps up the number tenfold (or more), I’d be happy to see it. But neither book nor any public discourse or (academic) reviews of the books seem to talk about anything but what I’ve quoted here. If the claim was thousands of Jewish victims and not “approximately 100”, from what I could find, everyone but you have read it differently or missed that part. And that would be really significant with how big of a disconnect there has been.

I think you’ve just misread or misremembered that part…

I have the book here in front of me and I think this is the part your’e thinking. From first book, talking about your second source:

Finland’s Holocaust: Silences of History, page 151.

Challenging the official figure of eight Jewish refugees handed over to the German authorities, Sana claimed that during the German–Finnish alliance, the Continuation War (1941–44), Finland extradited almost 3,000 civilians and POWs, among them approximately 100 Jews.

How you could turn that to thousands of handed over Jews, I don’t know. If some other part brings it up tenfold then I didn’t see it with a quick glance. I think you might’ve misread or misremembered that part since nowadays that doesn’t challenge what I said with “I’m not sure how you’ve counted it but the number for Jews who were given to the Germans was eight refugees and “some tens” of (Soviet) PoWs.” Some upper estimates got “up to a hundred” based on just the last names, but usually the number I’ve seen is below that since just the names can be very uncertain in Russian context.

Still horrible, no question about that, but I originally came to correct was this:

they were good people that didn’t send thousands of Jews to their deaths

Can you share some of these works?

E: TL;DR cited works didn’t actually claim “thousands” but “approximately 100”. With two zeroes.

they were good people that didn’t send thousands of Jews to their deaths

I’m not sure how you’ve counted it but the number for those who were given to the Germans was eight refugees and “some tens” of (Soviet) PoWs. A pretty far cry from the “thousands” you mentioned, but as I said, I’m not sure what you are counting.

For a long time the war and stuff like this was a sore point and the heroic myth overruled everything but since at least for a decade this particular topic has got a lot of public discourse. The heroic myth still lives on though, even if it is milder than it used to be.

Weird meme since Finland and Finns are very open about who Finland sided with and it’s very commonly talked about too. If anything it should rather be that we’re too nonchalant about it rather than trying to hide it somehow.

Don’t ever try to argue with a Finn that a Russian person can be good, and that Putin is also their enemy: the Finn will shut down and stop talking to you - meaning, in their culture, that you can politely go fuck yourself.

I cracked up reading this. It’s not like that these days. Some people are and it used to be worse but things have changed a bunch.

The Russian attack into Ukraine soured things again though. Not that that’s an excuse, rather it just happened following that.

I’d say most did this. Very common thing in any case

Reminds me of Google’s thing with the Gemini name.

Google decides to use the Gemini name for their AI stuff either knowing other company has patent or whatever on that name when it comes to AI or just doing it anyway. Google asks Patent Office to give them the name, they are told no. Then some “mysterious third party” tries to buy out the other company. They figure it is Google trying to circumvent the patent, they stop contact and just sue Google.

I’m not sure if they decided on the name, saw it was taken and were like “yeah but we like the name so it’ll be fine” or if they’re genuinely stupid enough to first decide on the name and then they realize that oh shit

I guess so. If they’re going to do one I would’ve imagine it would’ve been the tomato, true

You can just bite into it, you know. More fun to eat it that way imo
