Raoul Wallenberg in Budapest, Hungary, 1944

Описание: Sweden’s Raoul Wallenberg is perhaps the best-known diplomat from the Holocaust period who used their position to save Jewish lives. Tad Stahnke of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum shares his story.

IranWire’s Photos That Define the Holocaust series reviews photographs, chosen by United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historians, staff, and Youth Ambassadors. Each photo tells a unique story of the Holocaust. Some depict daily life for Jews during the Second World War, some expose antisemitic Nazi propaganda, while others show instances of clandestine documentation of Nazi persecution. The videos also demonstrate how photographs can be used to understand the past, humanize historical events, and honor victims.
