Raoul Wallenberg

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

“A thorough, careful and gripping recapitulation of Wallenberg’s life.”
Library Journal

Now an international symbol of twentieth-century humanitarianism, Raoul Wallenberg,
a Swedish diplomat, issued countless “false” visas and other documents which were
virtual life certificates that saved approximately 100,000 Jews from the Nazis in wartime
Hungary. Then in 1945, as the war drew to a close, he disappeared after being taken into
custody by Soviet military police. Today Wallenberg’s fate remains unknown.

This authoritative biography discusses previously sealed prison records and archives, reports
of sightings of Wallenberg, the Wallenberg family’s historic multi-million-dollar lawsuit against
the former Soviet Union, and the worldwide activities in honor of this great man who refused to
be a bystander.

Harvey Rosenfeld teaches at Pace and St. John’s universities and is the editor of Martyrdom and Resistance.
