Az idei esztendő Raoul Wallenberg-emlékév Svédországban, számos eseménnyel. A The Local című hírportál azonban a programok mellett egy meglehetősen kritikus írásnak is helyet biztosított. Szerzője az Egyesült Államokban élő Susanne Berger német történész, címe pedig sokatmondó: Raoul Wallenberg, Svédország nem…
I was born in January 1934 in Budapest and for the first few years I was brought up as a Roman Catholic as my parents converted to Catholicism in the mistaken belief that it would save us from persecution. Many people did the same at the time.
In 1941 my father was sent to a camp in NE Hungary where he, with hundreds of others were made to build airfields etc. and I did not see him for 3 years.

The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989) rightly said in his memoirs that Raoul Wallenberg “is one of those people who make not just all of Sweden but all of humanity proud” (1) . As long as Judeo-Christian civilization continues to exist, his fate is sure to move people, for he was one of its most praiseworthy examples that has lived among us. Humanity’s greatest good always begins with the ability to do good on behalf of other people. In saving the lives of the Hungarian Jews, Wallenberg made his own contribution to the development of all Western Civilization. It is apparent that through his acts of self-sacrifice over the course of several months in 1944, he fathered the standard of our attitude to human dignity which was subsequently laid down in perpetuity as the foundation of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For this reason, this article is dedicated to the sacred memory of a saint of many nations, Raoul Wallenberg (1912 – ?).
As is well documented, in the period from 1933 to 1945, some 6,000,000 Jews were exterminated in Europe by the combined forces of Nazi Germany, their allies, and in addition their collaborators in occupied countries (2). Such ruthless mass murder of Jews while the entire world looked on was to become the single most unmitigated catastrophe in the history of the Jewish people.

Utrikesdepartementet är en politiskt styrd organisation och i sådana finns det litet eller inget utrymme för medmänsklig storslagenhet. Raoul Wallenbergs öde är tyvärr ett skolexempel på den ständiga bristen på civilkurage. Det skriver Mats Lewicki, sekreterare vid Raoul Wallenberg Academy. OM…
