A collection of writings from “one of the truly heroic figures of the Holocaust” whose legacy of courage, determination, and sacrifice still lives on (Congressman Tom Lantos, who survived the Holocaust because of Wallenberg).
During the darkest days of World War II, Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was one of the true heroes to emerge during the Nazi occupation of Europe. He saved countless Hungarian Jews from certain death at the hands of Adolf Eichmann. Yet his story is seldom told, and with his disappearance behind the Iron Curtain in January of 1945, his fate remains a tragic mystery.
Wallenberg’s incredible story is presented here, in his own words. With material drawn from three seperate collections, Letters and Dispatches is the most thorough single volume of his writings. It is a book that reveals “his decency, independence and adventurousness” which enabled him to rescue so many from a terrible end (Publishers Weekly).
