Raoul Wallenberg The Swedish Diplomat Who Defied the Holocaust
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Fexingo History takes you to Budapest, 1944, where Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg arrived with a mission: save as many Jews as possible from deportation to Auschwitz. Against the backdrop of Sweden's precarious neutrality, Wallenberg issued protective passes, established safe houses under Swedish flag, and confronted both Arrow Cross militiamen and Adolf Eichmann himself. We explore how a 31-year-old from a wealthy Swedish family became one of the Holocaust's greatest heroes, the fate of the tens of thousands he saved, and the mystery of his own disappearance into Soviet custody. Learn about Schutzpass, the War Refugee Board, the Swedish legation's clandestine operations, and the enduring legacy of a man who proved that one person can make a difference even in history's darkest hour.
