Many become heroes when heroism is thrust upon them. but Wallenberg went out of his way voluntarily to assume a daring and dangerous assignment. Leaving behind the comfort and affluence. the safety and security of Stockholm. he confronted the anguish. suffering. terror. and degradation being perpetrated in Budapest. No one else had the audacity to follow the death marches. to jump in front of guns leveled at Jews. to pull people off deportation trains. Raoul Wallenberg not only saved 100.000 lives. he saved our faith in humanity. Wallenberg saved tens of thousands from death at the hands of German and Hungarian Nazis. and the nightmare of the Holocaust was almost at an end.
