a 32-year-old non-Jewish businessman, a citizen of neutral Sweden, accepted an assignment
from the US War Refugee Board to go to Budapest to save Jews from the Nazi “Final
Solution.” The Swedish government cooperated by giving him diplomatic status. Wallenberg
defied the odds and saved tens of thousands of Jews in Budapest, the last remaining
Jewish community in Nazi-occupied Europe, that summer of 1944. But, he couldn’t save
himself. Wallenberg was arrested by the on-rushing Soviet forces liberating Hungary
in January 1945. He has never been seen free since. His ultimate fate has never been
definitively determined, even after many years of investigation. On the 5th of October
1981, Raoul Wallenberg was named an Honorary US citizen by vote of Congress, signed
by President Ronald Reagan. Winston Churchill is the only other individual accorded
this honor in the long history of our Republic. August 12th, 2007 was the 95th anniversary
