Summary

Discusses Raoul Wallenberg's rescue activities in Budapest among Hungarian Jewry between 9 July 1944 and 14 January 1945, and inquires into his fate after his disappearance on 17 January. Although rescue attempts were made by the Swedish and other embassies, as well as the Red Cross, before Wallenberg's arrival in Budapest, he was the first diplomat who devoted himself exclusively to rescue. He saved the lives of many thousands of Jews, providing them with fictive passports, installing special protection houses, impeding the liquidation of the ghetto, and supplying its occupants with food and medicine.
