This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating true story of one man's effort to save Swedish diplomat -War Hero Raoul Wallenberg from the dungeons of the gulag where he was thrown after the KGB kidnapped him from Hungary on Jan 17, 1945. Author Morris Wolff sued the Soviets for Wallenberg's release and won a 39 million dollar verdict. Then Wolff went to Israel to enlist the Mossad in a rescue effort and in 1998 enlisted former US Ambassador to Moscow David M Evans. Evans, in the final pages of the book, goes to Kazan and amazingly finds Wallenberg alive in a hospital overlooking the Volga River. Read the details of this great rescue effort and the road blocks placed in Wolff's path by the governments of Sweden, Russia and the USA. Wolff wins the US Symphony Peace Award for his efforts at Carnegie Hall in New York in September of 1993 and then doubles his effort to rescue Wallenberg----a bloodhound selfless effort of 27 years with only certain members of the Wallenberg familiy helping him---while the majority of the family fight vociferously against Wolff's innocent and dedicated effort. The rich bankers in the family fight lawyer Wolff at every step of the way. They have much to hide as collaborators. They do not want Raoul free. This mystery-detective story---all true--will educate, inform and thrill you!

Book Synopsis Raoul Wallenberg by : Ingrid Carlberg
Download or read book Raoul Wallenberg written by Ingrid Carlberg and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An honorary citizen of the United States and Canada, and designated as one of the Righteous Among the Nations by Israel, Raoul Wallenberg was a modest envoy to Hungary whose heroism in Budapest at the height of the Holocaust saved countless Jewish 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. In this definitive biography, noted journalist Ingrid Carlberg has carried out unprecedented research into all elements of Wallenberg's life, narrating with vigor and insight the story of a heroic life, and navigating with wisdom and sensitivity the truth about his disappearance and death.
Book Synopsis A Conspiracy of Indifference by : Alan Gersten
Download or read book A Conspiracy of Indifference written by Alan Gersten and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-06-13 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the National Archives in Washington are two large gray boxes holding 21 folders containing one damaging fact: For half a century, America abandoned Raoul Wallenberg, a hero of the Holocaust. These boxes and folders contain 1,500 documents from the Central Intelligence Agency--which reveal that, through its inaction and subversion, the U.S. government let Wallenberg languish in the camps of silence, known as the Gulag Archipelago. These documents, released in 1994, show that America, which sent Wallenberg on one of World War II ́s most hazardous missions, betrayed this man who achieved the unachievable to rescue 100,000 Jews. A joint Swedish-Russian group--after more than nine years of study--released two reports on January 12, 2001. The Russian version said Wallenberg was killed in 1947, but the Swedish version raised many theories and came to no conclusions. A lot of this material was covered in the CIA files. During his years of imprisonment, many have tried and all have failed to free Wallenberg. His family made impassioned pleas to the highest levels of American government, only to be ignored five times. All attempts to free Wallenberg, perpetually bungled, included proposed spy swaps and a legal effort that initially won, but ultimately lost an unusual lawsuit against the Soviet Union. Through the prism of contemporary interviews along with the CIA documents as well as examination of 500 State Department documents in Washington and another 500 at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York, as well as the Swedish and Russian reports, one sees new details and insights into a basic conflict. All the new information provides the backbone of a book, the first to specify American culpability in deserting Raoul Wallenberg.
Download or read book Righteous Gentile written by John Bierman and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swallowed up by the Soviet prison system, the fate of Raoul Wallenberg, saviour of tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Nazi holocaust, remains a mystery. Recently KGB files have been opened and many Communist crimes have been fully exposed. Yet there is still no evidence, apart from a handwritten note of doubtful authenticity, to support the Kremlin's claim that in 1947 Wallenberg, then thirty-five years old, died of a heart attack in prison. On the other hand there is abundant evidence - none of it conclusive, but much of it highly persuasive - that Wallenberg remained alive in captivity long after 1947, broken in body and spirit, somewhere in the vastness of the former Soviet Union. Righteous Gentile is the first book to tell the full story of Raoul Wallenberg's shining wartime exploits and shameful post-war incarceration.

Download or read book Raoul Wallenberg written by Ulf Zander and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jews in Budapest between 1944 and 1945. He is recognised by the Israeli state as one of the Righteous among the Nations. This book examines both Wallenberg’s activities during the Holocaust and the ways posterity has remembered him. It explores secret Swedish diplomacy and how Wallenberg was transformed over time into a Swedish brand. It considers the political aspects of Wallenberg’s Americanisation and analyses his portrayals in music, film and television. Representations of Wallenberg as a monument are discussed with special reference to Swedish and Hungarian examples. The question of how Wallenberg’s memory can and should be kept alive in future is an essential issue related to the politics of memory.

Book excerpt: The Search for Raoul Wallenberg: The Truth tells a true story that reaches back over one hundred years, touches on the lives of over one hundred thousand people, involves the governments of four countries, includes hundreds of documents, and both exposes scandals and showcases heroism. There are many books about Raoul Wallenberg, the diplomat who saved one hundred thousand innocent lives during World War II. This one is unique. It is about all the behind-the-scenes activity involved in the release of the his prison records from the Soviet Union, where the idea originated, why it was important, how it was done, and the background of the impartial investigation that followed. In addition, it exposes the people who tried to prevent the truth, the reasons why, who confronted them, and those who worked tirelessly on behalf of this great hero. I know because this is my story. This story had its humble beginnings in Glen Cove and Sea Cliff, Long Island. The book will demonstrate what an individual can accomplish if they are dedicated, imaginative, courageous, and compassionate. Further, the book extends into the future by advocating implementation of lessons learned, avarice avoided, and compassionate lifestyles adopted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1935, Swede Raoul Wallenberg graduated from the University of Michigan. He returned to Sweden, but soon World War II erupted. Sweden remained neutral during the war, which enabled Wallenberg to travel as a salesman throughout Europe. Because of his brilliant command of languages and Swedish citizenship, Wallenberg was chosen to work for the U.S. War Refugee Board in Hungary. His mission was to rescue Jews in Budapest from the Nazis and their monstrous death camps. This volume’s gripping narrative transports readers to the turbulent last days of the war, when Wallenberg’s heroic actions helped to save thousands of Jews.
