FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda I will never forget that cold winter day. January 17, 1981. A ‘whose who’ of Jews, led by Simon Wiesenthal, Eli Wiesel, and Nobel laureates along with anonymous survivors of the Holocaust, came to Stockholm, Sweden to say a belated thank you to an unheralded hero, Raoul Wallenberg, and to press the Soviets for the truth about the ultimate fate of the Holocaust’s greatest Christian hero. “It is more important to find out the fate of this great man than to catch another Nazi War criminal”, Mr. Wiesenthal, the revered Nazi Hunter, declared 36 years to the day when the Soviet NKVD had kidnapped the Swede in the midst of his heroic mission to save thousands of Jews from the Nazi genocidal push to murder Hungary’s remaining Jews. Last seen in Stalin’s infamous Lubyanka prison in 1947, Wallenberg never emerged from the Soviet gulag and his final fate is still uncertain.
Wallenberg exhibited incredible heroism on the dangerous streets of Budapest, facing down at various times Hungarian fascist thugs, German generals and a face-to-face confrontation with the architect of the Holocaust, Adolph Eichmann. Armed with Jewish money funneled through the U.S. War Refugee Board, and using the cover of a Swedish diplomat, he dispensed official looking Schutzpasses to desperate Jews — some already packed into cattle cars destined for Auschwitz. And Wallenberg was remarkably successful. On a continent that had seen 2 out of every 3 European Jews perish at the hands of Nazi Germany and local enablers, he is credited with helping to save as many as 100,000 Jews from certain death.
But beyond the numbers, Wallenberg achieved much more. His commitment to humanity confirmed to Jews that some people still cared. His daring escapades gave the all-too neutral Swedes a countryman they could be proud of. His U.S.-sponsored mission of mercy made him an American folk hero, leading President Ronald Reagan to declare him an honorary American citizen.
And there have been films, books and monuments, perhaps no more poignant than one erected in Budapest, a dignified tribute in the very city that witnesses one man’s triumph over evil.
