Raoul Wallenberg, a wealthy Swedish Protestant personally saved the lives of 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Nazi Holocaust. In accomplishing this feat, Wallenberg himself disappeared into the unfathomable labyrinth of the Soviet Prisons. This year was chosen because it is the 100th anniversary of his birth. Wewill also highlight the role of Righteous Gentiles during the Holocaust.

There is no cost for this event.
