Wallenberg: Scholars run down more clues to a Holocaust mystery

Posted by Matt in April 27th, 2008

Raoul Wallenberg was a minor official of a neutral country, with an unimposing appearance and gentle manner. Recruited and financed by the U.S., he was sent into Hungary to save Jews. He bullied, bluffed and bribed powerful Nazis to prevent the deportation of 20,000 Hungarian Jews to concentration camps, and averted the massacre of 70,000 more people in Budapest’s ghetto by threatening to have the Nazi commander hanged as a war criminal.

Then, on Jan. 17, 1945, days after the Soviets moved into Budapest, the 32-year-old Wallenberg and his Hungarian driver, Vilmos Langfelder, drove off under a Russian security escort, and vanished forever.

Wallenberg
Raoul Wallenberg (August 4, 1912 -- July 16, 1947?)was a Swedish humanitarian sent to Budapest, Hungary under diplomatic cover to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. He was of the prominent Swedish Wallenberg family. Inspired by the the tale of the Scarlet Pimpernel, he worked to save the lives of Hungarian Jews in the later stages of World War II by issuing them protective passports from the Swedish embassy. These documents identified the bearers as Swedish nationals awaiting repatriation. It is impossible to determine exactly how many Jews were rescued by his actions, but Yad Vashem credits him with saving 15,000 lives. On January 17, 1945, he was arrested on the direct order of Soviet Deputy Commissar for Defense Nikolai Bulganin. It is probable that the order came from Stalin, for...

Josipa Lisac:cameo in the movie "Wallenberg: A hero's story"
This is a rare clip of a 1985 motion picture "Wallenberg: A hero's story" where the Croatian diva singer Josipa Lisac had a cameo appearance. The movie is about Raoul Wallenberg (played by Richard Chamberlain); a Swedish diplomat who saved many lives in Hungary during the Holocaust in 1944. Josipa plays a singer in a Budapest club and sings "Stormy weather" with a Hungarian accent, since the movie producers thought her English is too perfect and the character she plays is Hungarian. Also appearing in this clip is the great British actor, Kenneth Colley, who plays Adolf Eichmann, the notorious Nazi war criminal, responsible for the transportation of the Jews to the concentration camps.
