Armed only with his bravery and moral courage, Raoul Wallenberg saved tens of thousand of Jews from the Holocaust. His job was to launch a rescue operation for Jews, and he became head of a special department. By issuing protective Swedish passports and renting Buldings ( Swedish house) where Jews could seek shelter.The other diplomats of the Swedish Legation were initially skeptical of his unconventional methods. But when Wallenberg's efforts yielded results, he quickly received backing. His departement expanded, and there were several hundred people working there at its peak.
In 1945, Wallenberg was imprisoned by Soviet forces. His fate remains unknown. And Russia claims he died in a Soviet prison on 17 July 1947.
Wallenberg's achievements are reminder of the continuing need to fight racism.
