(1912 - ?)(Rescuer)
Raoul Wallenberg was a rescuer. He was born on August 4, 1912 in Stochholm, Sweden. Raoul Wallenberg worked in 1944 in Budapest, Hungary, during World War II to save Hungarian Jewish people from the Holocaust. He saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jewish people. His job was to issue protective passports and house Jews during the Holocaust. His role in the Holocaust was a rescuer because he worked towards stopping the deportation of tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews. Today there is still a debate of if he is alive or dead. Russians proclaim he died in Russian captivity on July 17, 1947. A number of testimonies indicate though that he was alive and that he still could be alive.
