Raoul Wallenberg is the son of a well-to-do family of Swedish bankers. Although he is a Christian"Aryan", Wallenberg despises the anti-semitism of the Hitler regime. Not content with merely sitting back and viewing with alarm, Wallenberg vows to help as many Jewish victims of the Nazis as possible.Employed as a diplomat at the Swedish embassy in Budapest during World War II, Wallenberg is responsible for the rescue of over 120,000 Hungarian Jews from right under the nose of Nazi Colonel Adolf Eichmann, before he subsequently disappeared behind Russian lines, never again to be seen.
