In the darkest days of the Holocaust, when millions of Jews were being rounded up and sent to death camps, one man stood up and risked his life to save thousands of innocent people.

That man was Raoul Wallenberg, a young Swedish diplomat who was sent to Budapest in July 1944. Wallenberg was not a Jew, but he was deeply moved by the plight of the Jewish people. He saw how they were being persecuted and hunted down, and he knew that he had to do something to help.

Wallenberg began by issuing protective passports to Jews, which declared that they were under the protection of the Swedish government. He also set up safe houses and hospitals where Jews could hide and receive medical care. Wallenberg's work was dangerous. The Nazis were determined to exterminate all of the Jews in Europe, and they were not going to let anyone stand in their way.

Wallenberg was constantly harassed and threatened by the Nazis. He was even arrested and imprisoned for a time. But he never gave up. He continued to issue protective passports and to help Jews escape from the Nazis.

By the end of the war, Wallenberg had saved the lives of an estimated 100,000 Jews. He was hailed as a hero by the Jewish people, and he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.

Wallenberg's story is an inspiring reminder of the power of one person to make a difference. In the face of overwhelming evil, he stood up and fought for what was right. He saved thousands of lives, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.

The Incredible True Story Of The Man Who Saved The Jews Of Budapest is a powerful and moving book that tells the story of Wallenberg's heroism. The book is written by Jonathan Freedland, a British journalist and author who has written extensively about the Holocaust. Freedland's book is a meticulously researched and beautifully written account of Wallenberg's life and work.

The Incredible True Story Of The Man Who Saved The Jews Of Budapest is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the Holocaust, heroism, or the power of one person to make a difference.
