Until the JOWBR is online the information can be found at the following addresses (the download of Helsinki may take a while):

THE HISTORY ABOUT THE JEWS IN FINLAND

Links to webpages with the history of the Jews in Finland:

• The Jews of Finland and World War II by Tapani Harviainen, Professor of Semitic Languages, University of Helsinki
• The Jewish Community of Helsinki

Some relevant addresses if you are trying to get some information from Finland:

• Website for all of Finland's genealogical societies with many links and - I believe almost all! - all necessary historical and genealogical information and addresses.
• Institute for Migration with online searchable databases for passenger lists and passport lists!

• The Holocaust

where the 2. chapter "Jews and the North" gives a brief outline of the history of the Jews in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway.
