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. For this seminal biography, Ingrid Carlberg has carried out unprecedented research into all elements of Wallenberg's life, narrating with vigour and insight the story of a heroic life, and navigating with wisdom and sensitivity the truth about his disappearance and death 546 Translated from Swedish 600 14 Wallenberg, Raoul,|d1912-1947 600 17 Wallenberg, Raoul,|d1912-1947.|2fast 600 17 Wallenberg, Raoul,|d1912-1947.|2nli 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|2fast 611 27 Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War)|2fast 611 27 World War (1939-1945)|2fast 648 7 1939-1945 (andra världskriget)|2sao 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust|zHungary|zBudapest 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xJews|xRescue|zHungary|zBudapest 650 0 Diplomats|zHungary|vBiography 650 0 Diplomats|zSweden|vBiography 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|zHungary 650 7 Förintelsen|2sao 650 7 Diplomater|2sao 650 7 Judar|2sao 650 7 Diplomats.|2fast 650 7 Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust.|2fast 650 7 Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust|zHungary|zBudapest |vBiography.|2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|xRescue|zHungary.|2nli 650 7 Diplomats|zSweden|vBiography.|2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|zHungary.|2nli 651 7 Ungern|2sao 651 7 Ungern|zBudapest|2sao 651 7 Hungary.|2fast 651 7 Sweden.|2fast 651 7 Hungary|zBudapest.|2fast 653 Dawit Isaak-biblioteket 655 7 Biografier|2saogf 655 7 Biographies.|2fast 700 1 Annan, Kofi A.|q(Kofi Atta)|4aui 700 1 Segerberg, Ebba|4trl
