Interesting New Info in the Curious Case of Raoul Wallenberg, Heroic Swede Who Saved Thousands of Jews

By Debbie Schlussel

One of the not so mysterious mysteries is what happened to Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who risked his life to save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. Instead of going into the safe, wealthy banking life of his family, this University of Michigan architectural school grad instead volunteered to work with America to save thousands of Hungarian Jews, and apparently lost his own life in the process.

Although no one knows for sure what happened to Raoul Wallenberg, sightings and other accounts indicate that he was captured by the Soviets and likely died in one of their prisons. If he were alive today, this heroic, saintly man would be 96.

This weekend, the Wall Street Journal's Joshua Prager wrote an extensive feature on the Wallenberg family's search for his whereabouts. Although the article was very long, there were some interesting items in it.
