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 of Wallenberg’s birth.
