We honor the memory of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who disappeared on January 17, 1945. Wallenberg saved tens of thousands of Jews in Budapest during the Holocaust from being deported by the Nazis to death camps. He was last seen alive in January 1945, when he was detained by the Soviets, and later died in Soviet custody. More than 80 years later, his legacy lives on, as he is rightfully honored across the globe. | World Jewish Congress
