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 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 --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Raoul Wallenberg - the Swedish businessman who, at immense personal risk, rescued many of Budapest's Jews from the Holocaust and subsequently disappeared into the Soviet prison system - is one of the most fascinating episodes of World War II. Yet the complete story of his life and fate can only be told now - and for the first time in this book - following access to the Russian and Swedish archival sources, previously not used. Born into a wealthy Swedish family, Wallenberg was a moderately successful businessman when he was recruited by the War Refugee Board to manage the rescue mission of thousands of Hungarian Jews. Once in Budapest, he created and distributed so called 'protective passports' (or Schutz-Pass) among the Jewish population, thus managing to save up to 8,000 people. Through the 'safe houses' and clandestine networks that he established around the city, many thousands more were saved from the concentration camps. Yet, when Budapest was liberated by the Red Army in January 1945, Wallenberg was arrested and taken to Moscow. One of the reasons for his arrest was that the Soviets could not understand the nature of his mission: formally he was a Swedish diplomat but he worked for an American agency. On the basis of previously unseen Soviet sources, Jangfeldt has been able to reconstruct the events surrounding Wallenberg's arrest almost hour by hour and, for the first time, he presents a highly plausible theory about the reasons why Wallenberg was arrested and what happened to him after he disappeared. With access to previously unpublished material, Bengt Jangfeldt provides the first complete account of Wallenberg's life - from his childhood in Sweden to his disappearance in a Russian jail - and sheds important new light on one of the greatest heroes of World War II. This is a thrilling tale of intrigue, espionage and heroism which will captivate all readers of modern European history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoirs of a man who saved thousands from the Nazi death camps. Although not as well-known as Raoul Wallenberg, Valdemar Langlet was the savior of thousands of Jews in Budapest in the last two years of World War II. Entirely without the permission or the financial support of the Swedish Red Cross, he issued so-called “Letters of Protection,” which were passport-like documents with official-looking stamps that frequently saved Hungarian Jews from deportation to the death camps. Then chaos broke out in the streets and the Germans put their Arrow Cross allies in power. With the approaching Red Army threatening to turn the city into a battleground, Langlet risked his life to shelter Jews and other refugees in safe houses throughout Budapest. A gifted linguist, Langlet was able to deal directly with Hungarian officials, who were often themselves eager to have the protection of the Swedish Red Cross emblem on their own houses as the war drew closer to the capital. Later, he communicated with the Soviet commanders who took control after fierce fighting had destroyed much of Budapest. This is a unique and fascinating memoir of a man who saved thousands of lives during one of the most terrible episodes in world history without official authority or support from his own country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: »Ovanligt klar och utan onödigheter… Levine har gett oss en lärdom.« Östgöta Correspondenten »Ett vederhäftigt och banbrytande arbete som säkerligen kommer att skapa debatt och generera många nya forskningsuppslag.« Nerikes Allehanda »Boken är mycket intressant och känns viktig och nödvändig.« Gotlands Allehanda Välskriven bok som ger en ny, stundtals överraskande och genomgående nyanserad bild av den svenske diplomaten Raoul Wallenberg! Raoul Wallenberg är en av Förintelsens hjältar, som har hyllats för sina insatser i Buda¬pest 1944. Paul A. Levine, docent i historia vid Uppsala universitet, har under 20 års tid forskat kring Wallenberg och svensk diplomati under Förintelsen. Här river han hål på ett antal myter om en människa vars symboliska kraft levt kvar decennier efter hans försvinnande. I denna nyanserade skildring av vad Wallenberg lyckades uträtta under sina sex korta månader på historiens stora scen tonas hjältestatusen ned, men läsaren får en rikare bild av honom som person. Raul Wallenbergs insatser för att hjälpa och rädda judar under Förintelsen har beundrats av miljoner människor världen över. Postumt har han erhållit hedersmedborgarskap i flera länder, han står som staty i många städer i världen och han har fått ge namn åt både aka-demiska institutioner, skolor, parker och gator. De sex månader Wallenberg tillbringade i det hårt drabbade Budapest under krigsslutet var dramatiska. Han och hans kolleger hjälpte många tusen fler judar än den betydligt mer berömde Oskar Schindler. Men de flesta böcker om Wallenberg har en tendens att glorifiera honom snarare än att skildra den verkliga historien. SAGT OM BOKEN This is the first major evaluation of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the most enigmatic and admired figures of World War II, Paul Levines investigation of the man behind the myth is well-documented, balanced and extremely well written. His book demonstrates that de-mystifying legends about those who saved souls during the Holocaust only highlights their true heroism by placing it within its historical and human context. Omer Bartov, John P. Birkelund, Distinguished Professor of European Historiy, Brown University This book is a detailed study of a much written about and much misunderstood man: it has the great merit of asking penetrating questions, and producing unexpected and in many ways disturbing answers.
