SPL03172 – Raoul Wallenberg: Liberation and Loss

Instructor: Ralph Nurnberger, Ph.D.

Raoul Gustaf Wallenberg was a Swedish architect, businessman, and diplomat who was able to save thousands of Jews from German Nazis and Hungarian Fascists. After driving the Nazis out of Budapest, the Soviets detained Wallenberg on suspicion of espionage. He subsequently disappeared, never to be seen again by anyone outside the Soviet Union. The motives behind Wallenberg’s arrest and imprisonment by the Soviet government remain mysterious. This presentation will focus on how one man saved so many lives, followed by an examination of his suspicious disappearance.
