The Sami have a tradition of oral story telling. They would sit around the camp fire and tell each other stories of their day and their life adventures/ This story is about my father and his childhood experiences growing up in northern Finland and the war year. His mother got ill shortly after WW1 started. My dad was sent to live with relatives, then to orphanages and prison camps.
