The Swedish Diplomat who rescued thousands of Jews during the Holocaust

Raoul Wallenberg and Per Anger saved thousands of Hungarian Jews by issuing them fake Swedish identification papers and established safe houses under protection of Swedish legation in Budapest. This year, on the 80th anniversary of the deportations in Hungary, Per Anger’s son Jan Anger spoke about the story at a Yom Hashoah event “Behind the Swedish rescue of Budapest’s Jews” at an event at Sydney Jewish Museum.
