Memory register · custodian, not owner
The Jewish community of Helsinki traces part of its origin to former Jewish soldiers of the Imperial Russian army (the cantonists) permitted to remain in Finland, then a grand duchy under Russian rule. Remaining one of the smallest Jewish communities in Europe, it organized itself around a synagogue and communal institutions, its members often being merchants and later members of the liberal professions. During the Second World War, despite Finland's co-belligerency with Germany against the Soviet Union, the country refused to hand over its Jewish citizens, and the community survived. It remains active in Helsinki.
