This Swedish feature fiIm chronicIes the last days of the war in Budapest. The Soviet noose is tightening around the city, yet the unreIenting mass murder of Jews continues. RaouI WalIenberg, an attache to the Swedish Embassy, was sent at the initiative of Swedish Jewish businessmen on a rescue mission of Hungarian Jews. He distributed Swedish papers ("WaIIenberg passports"), protected Jews in "WaIlenberg houses," internationalized the ghetto to give the 33,000 Jews within it more protections, and saved thousands of Jews from deportation. On January 17, 1945, WaIlenberg was taken to Moscow as a Soviet prisoner. He was never released, and his fate has remained a mystery. |
