Raoul Wallenberg

Raoul Wallenberg’s courage and actions in Budapest in 1944 over seven decades ago pointed the way to a better future for all.

Raoul Wallenberg is one of a kind in every particular.

During World War II, Sweden’s official neutrality was not always pretty. Yet, despite the calculated concessions granted by their government, some Swedish diplomats became heroes for their courage and compassion. For his efforts rescuing tens of thousands of Jewish Hungarians, Raoul Wallenberg vanished to the world while in the custody of the Red Army.
