Wallenberg has become a symbol of humanity. decency. and heroism around the world. I would like to call to the attention of my colleagues in the House the effort of a Colorado playwright to give the Wallenberg story greater circulation through a dramatic portrayal of the mans life and accomplishments in Budapest. Carl Levine. professor emeritus of English at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. first became interested in the Wallenberg story immediately after World War II when he was in Stockholm on behalf of the American Friends Service Committee to expedite food and clothing to refugees in Germany and Finland. Levines interest and research has been woven into his drama Raoul Wallenberg: Tribute to a Lost Hero. which was premiered in Denvers Bonfils Theater in March of this year. The initial performances of the play were so successful that the plays run was extended and the production has been scheduled to be rerun at Denvers Shwayder Theatre during the 198384 season.
