With Raoul Wallenberg in Budapest

About this book

In July 1944 Raoul Wallenberg arrived in Budapest and Per Anger became his close and devoted collaborator in the noble humanitarian mission of saving Hungarian Jews from deportation to the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Raoul Wallenberg saved about 25 000 Jews directly and another 70 000 indirectly. In a tense dramatic account Per Anger relates their experiences in Budapest during those fateful years 1944-45. He recounts his association with Raoul Wallenberg in his rescue work and tells of Wallenbergs tragic fate after his arrest by the Russians.
