Data concerning POWs deaths are available in the online database [Prisoners-of-war deaths and people handed over in Finland](http://kronos.narc.fi/frontpage.html).
The database is available in English but the search engine works only in Finnish. To look for the Jewish POWs, in the field “kansallisuus” [nationality] choose “juutalainen” [Jewish], and click on "hae" [search].
