This resolution. which Is the revised version of one I first introduced on May 20. was unanimously approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The resolution honors Raoul Wallenberg. a Swedish diplomat who is credited with saving 90.000 Hungarian Jews from Nazi death camps during World War II. Sent by Sweden to Hungary at the request of the American War Refugee Board in 1944. Wallenberg accomplished his perhaps unparalleled humanitarian deeds in just 6 months before Soviet forces defeated the Nazis. Wallenberg passed out protective Swedish passports to 20.000 individuals. and actually rescued 2.000 by snatching them off the road to the concentration camps.
