Part 7 Whatever Happened to Raoul Wallenberg?

When the horrors of the Nazi occupation of Europe were revealed, countless millions stood aside and let the machinery of death grind forward. Raoul Wallenberg did not. Swedish diplomat Wallenberg worked in Budapest at the height of Hitler's “Final Solution”, and saw Jews being loaded onto trains destined for Nazi concentration camps. But he, unlike many others, refused to sit by idly, but rather, saved many earmarked for death by issuing Swedish immunity passes he was not authorised to grant. Wallenberg used his personal, political and business connections to leverage the rescue of thousands of families. From under the noses of the Nazis, he is thought to have rescued 100,000 people. But suddenly in 1945, he disappeared after being taken into custody by Soviet military police, and was never seen again. Was he killed by the Nazis he thwarted so long? Did he escape death but feel compelled to hide from the evil he had defied? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RAOUL WALLENBERG? follows the trails uncovered by his family, researchers, and even governments, in their hunt for the truth.
