Marking the 61st year since the disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg -January 17, we organized a presentation about this amazing personality. In June 1944, thirty-two year old Swedish businessman, Raoul Gustav Wallenberg was appointed as Secretary of the Swedish Legation in Budapest. Though Wallenberg had no prior diplomatic experience, he had the ability to persuade, and intimidate. Upon his arrival on July 8, 1944; 400,000 Jewish men women and children had already been deported to the death camps in the south of Poland; 230,000 remained. During his six months in Hungary's capitol he was responsible for the survival of 100,000 Jews. After the city was liberated by the Soviet Army in January 1945, Wallenberg was arrested by the Soviets and never heard from again. His faith is not what he would have deserved! May he never be forgotten! |
