This book is a translation of the core message and text from my book jotta
totuus ei unohtuisi - the truth not to be forgotten published in Finnish in
2004.* * *This decision of mine to start mapping the milestones of my life was
just such a coincidence. For several years I had resigned from active work, and
suddenly at the beginning of 2004, I experienced a revival. I must put my life
on paper, telling my story to generations coming after me. * * *It takes the
passing of at least one or preferably two generations before a controversial
issue can raise its head again objectively. Although a wise person once said
that when an issue is being debated, it has already become a dogma. Knowledge
itself is not subject to debate, but new knowledge must overcome the inertia of
dogma.
