The story of twentieth-century humanitarianism. Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat, issued countless "false" visas and other documents which were virtual life certificates that saved approximately one hundred thousand Jews from the Nazis in wartime Hungary. Then in 1945, as the war drew to a close, he disappeared after being taken into custody by Soviet military police. Wallenberg's fate remains unknown but it is thought he died at the hands of the Russians in 1947.
