Preserving The Culture Of A Lost Karelia

Recorded in 2016, I speak to Marjo Matikainen-Källström, Satu Hallonberg and Markku Pulli about Karjalaisetkesäjuhlat; the commemoration of the evacuation of 430,000 people from Karelia after World War 2 and a celebration of continuing Karelian culture.

I then speak to Satu (nowadays, Mrs Wiltshear) who shares some of her family's memories as evacuees from Karjala.
