Finland: Where Jews fought on the side of the Nazis

I don't ever recall seeing any info on how Finland handled their Jewish citizens.

Himmler asked about Finland's Jews during a visit in 1942, and Finland's Prime Minister Rangell replied: "Finland has a couple of thousand Jews - decent families and individuals, whose sons fight in our army just like other Finns, and who are as respected as citizens as all others. We have no Jewish question."

And that was that.

The issue was discussed during the 1998 Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets. See Chapter 3, Delegation Statements, Finland.

Finland refused to cooperate with the Nazis in the persecution of Jews. Desirous of their pseudo allies cooperation in the war against Russia, Finland was never pressed on the issue, so Jews maintained their rights throughout the war. Some fled to Sweden, just in case, however the Jewish population wasn't very large.
