Raoul Wallenberg
Official Medal, 2003 First medal in the "Visa for Life" series commemorating Righteous Among the Nations diplomats.
The stories of the rescue of Jews in the Holocaust are a few and isolated points of light from the most terrible period for the Jewish people. Among the "followers of the world" there is a group of diplomats who in secret activities managed to issue a "visa for life" to Jews and other citizens in European countries whose lives were in danger. They came from different countries and risked their lives and their professional future. They often acted in opposition
To the policies of their governments to save lives. The most famous of them was Raoul Wallenberg. Raoul Wallenberg was born into a wealthy aristocratic Swedish family in 1912. In 1944 he volunteered for a rescue operation for the Jews of Hungary in Budapest. He managed to issue visas on behalf of the Swedish embassy and save more than 25,000 Jews. On January 17, 1945, Wallenberg was last seen in the company of Soviet soldiers.
After 10 years of denial, and after Stalin's death, the USSR government admitted that Wallenberg was detained by her and died of a heart attack in 1946. In 1966, the Israeli government declared Raoul Wallenberg a Righteous Among the Nations. The US awarded him a medal and honorary citizenship in - 1981. The official medal commemorating the character of Raoul Wallenberg is an expression of gratitude to the tens of thousands of people who were saved thanks to him.
