Download or read book Raoul Wallenberg written by Ingrid Carlberg and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Honorary Citizen of the U.S.A., and designated as one of the Righteous among the Nations by Israel, Raoul Wallenberg's heroism in Budapest at the height of the Holocaust saved countless lives, and ultimately cost him his own. A series of unlikely coincidences led to the appointment of Wallenberg, by trade a poultry importer, 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 depths of the Soviet system, never to be seen again. For this seminal biography, Ingrid Carlberg has carried out unprecedented research into all elements of Wallenberg's life, narrating with vigour and insight the story of a heroic life, and navigating with wisdom and sensitivity the truth about his disappearance and death. Translated from the Swedish by Ebba Segerberg
Download or read book Raoul Wallenberg in Budapest written by Paul Ansel Levine and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: diplomatic correspondence, this study provides a richer and more nuanced picture of this fascinating burgenerally misunderstood figure. Though not a biography, Wallenberg's up-bringing is explored, with the motives and goals for his mission analysed. This study replaces the one-dimensional caricature which has long dominated the public's view of Wallenberg with a more complicated individual who made history during the Holocaust." "Levine also explores how the many myths about Wallenberg and his mission have played a significant role in distorting both the public's understanding of him, and of how he actually worked to assist and save thousands of Jews. Rather than being an 'angel of rescue', as he is some times referred to, Wallenberg was a very real man whose status as a Swedish diplomat was more crucial to his ability to act than his own motivations. Often referred to as an archetypical 'altruisric personality', this study demonstrates that Wallenberg was hardly a --
Download or read book Unlikely Heroes written by Ari Kohen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classes and books on the Holocaust often center on the experiences of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, but rescuers also occupy a prominent space in Holocaust courses and literature even though incidents of rescue were relatively few and rescuers constituted less than 1 percent of the population in Nazi-occupied Europe. As inspiring figures and role models, rescuers challenge us to consider how we would act if we found ourselves in similarly perilous situations of grave moral import. Their stories speak to us and move us. Yet this was not always the case. Seventy years ago these brave men and women, today regarded as the Righteous Among the Nations, went largely unrecognized; indeed, sometimes they were even singled out for abuse from their co-nationals for their selfless actions. Unlikely Heroes traces the evolution of the humanitarian hero, looking at the ways in which historians, politicians, and filmmakers have treated individual rescuers like Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar Schindler, as well as the rescue efforts of humanitarian organizations. Contributors in this edited collection also explore classroom possibilities for dealing with the role of rescuers, at both the university and the secondary level.
Download or read book Raoul Wallenberg written by Rudolph Philipp and published by . This book was released on 1947 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes Wallenberg's rescue actions which saved the lives of thousands of Jews in Hungary. Emphasizes his tireless and inventive efforts to protect the Jews, inter alia through the introduction of "protective passports", the establishment of a rescue organization and a Jewish commando force, and the setting up of safe houses under Swedish protection. When tens of thousands of Jews were forced to go on a death march from Budapest to Vienna in the winter of 1944, Wallenberg continued his efforts to save Jewish lives; he distributed food, clothes, and medicine to those he was unable to help otherwise. In January 1945, Wallenberg was arrested by the Soviets and disappeared; his arrest was connected with his rescue activities in Budapest.
Download or read book A Man for All Connections written by Andrew Handler and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-01-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chronicle of Raoul Wallenberg's sojourn to Budapest documents his activities at the Swedish Legation and his rescue efforts on behalf of the Jews of Budapest. It is a matter of record that Wallenberg's mission was designed by compassionate and desperate men in Sweden and elsewhere. Less well known is the fact that the misson was activated and sustained by various representatives of the Hungarian state apparatus whose cooperation Wallenberg regularly sought and often received. The author, one of the former hidden children in Hungary, believes that without the official and covert aid of such individuals, Wallenberg's activities would have been confined to a series of efforts with little or no success.

Book excerpt: It has long been argued that the Allies did little or nothing to rescue Europe's Jews. Arguing that this has been consistently misinterpreted, The Myth of Rescue states that few Jews who perished could have been saved by any action of the Allies. In his new introduction to the paperback edition, Willliam Rubinstein responds to the controversy caused by his challenging views, and considers further the question of bombing Auschwitz, which remains perhaps the most widely discussed alleged lost opportunity for saving Jews available to the Allies.
