Le cas Wallenberg
Surveys rescue activities undertaken by the Swedish diplomat Wallenberg in Hungary between 9 July 1944-13 January 1945 in order to save Hungarian Jews. Wallenberg negotiated with the SS and the Arrow Cross, issued 9,500 "passports" declaring Swedish nationality, and caused other neutral countries to follow his example. He established safe-houses in Budapest, in which 30,000 Jews found refuge during January 1945. His intervention to prevent the total destruction of the Budapest ghetto saved the lives of another 70,000 Jews. Discusses his mysterious disappearance on 17 January, when he was on his way to Debrecen to meet with the Soviet Marshal Malinovskii to negotiate the purchase of food and medicine for the Jews.
