Holocaust Survivors Campaign for Russia to Disclose Fate of World War II Hero Raoul Wallenberg

Swedish humanitarian worker Raoul Wallenberg is credited with saving tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps during World War II. But after Soviet troops took control of Budapest in 1945, he was arrested and never seen or heard from again. On what would be his 97th birthday (August 4) this year, the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation renewed its call for Russian officials to unseal the record of Wallenberg's fate. VOA's Carolyn Weaver has more.

Stalin's Bolsheviks were as evil as the Nazis. Raoul Wallenberg was a saint saving the lives of those the Nazi SS murder murdering and those Russian communist butchers murdered him.
