Raoul Wallenberg: the heroic life of the man who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust.

Biography of Wallenberg whose courageous actions in Budapest at the height of the Holocaust saved countless lives and ultimately cost him his. A series of unlikely coincidences led to the appointment of Wallenberg as Sweden's Special Envoy to Budapest in 1944. With remarkable bravery, Wallenberg created a system of protective passports, and sheltered thousands of desperate Jews in buildings he claimed were Swedish libraries and research institutes. As the war drew to a close, his invaluable work almost complete, Wallenberg voluntarily went to meet with the Soviet troops who were relieving the city. Arrested as a spy, Wallenberg disappeared into the Soviet system, never to be seen again.
