本文重点关注第二次世界大战期间的芬兰儿童，从两个不同的角度来看待儿童。首先，它提供了大约 70,000 名被转移到瑞典和丹麦的儿童的信息；所谓“战争儿童”。其次，它讨论了对 1927 年至 1938 年出生、战争期间留在芬兰的芬兰人的调查结果。大多数“战争儿童”住在私人住宅中，其中许多人忘记了自己的芬兰根源；大约15,000人永久移居国外。许多被转移的孩子在这两个国家都没有宾至如归的感觉。他们的教育水平低于芬兰人的平均水平，但由于战争期间良好的医疗保健和营养，他们的健康状况更好。战争期间在芬兰度过童年的芬兰人饱受饥饿之苦。农村居民的生活比城市居民或战区撤离者的生活要好。随着时间的推移，孩子们的噩梦逐渐消失，只有少数人仍然在梦中看到坦克和爆炸。与其他欧洲国家的孩子相比，芬兰的孩子生活得很好，避免了看到战争的恐怖。然而，与英国儿童相比，他们必须更多地工作和协助非政府组织。
This article focuses on Finnish children during the Second World War, looking at children from two different points of view. First, it provides information on around 70,000 children who were transferred to Sweden and Denmark; so‐called “war children”. Second, it discusses the results of a survey of Finns born between 1927 and 1938 who stayed in Finland during the war years. The majority of “war children” lived in private homes and many of them forgot their Finnish roots; around 15,000 emigrated permanently. Many of these transferred children do not feel at home in either country. Their educational level is lower than the average Finn’s, but their health is better owing to good medical care and nutrition during the war. The Finns who spent their childhood in Finland during the war suffered from hunger. Those in the countryside had better lives than those in cities or evacuees from the war zone. The children’s nightmares faded away with time and only a minority still see tanks and bombings in their dreams. Compared with those from other European countries, Finnish children lived well and avoided seeing the horrors of war. However, they had to work and assist non‐governmental organisations more than did English children.
