	Raoul Wallenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1931, Wallenberg went to study in the United States and received a bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Michigan in 1935.
		Wallenberg skillfully negotiated with Nazi officials like Adolf Eichmann and General Gerhard Schmidthuber, the commander of the German Army in Hungary, and convinced them to cancel deportations to German concentration camps by having his fascist ally, Pál Szalay, deliver a note in which Wallenberg threatened to have them prosecuted for war crimes.
		Raoul Wallenberginstitutet, The Raoul Wallenberg Institute, was established in 1984 at Lund University in Sweden.

	Raoul Wallenberg
		Raoul Wallenberg belongs — or belonged — to one of the most famous families in Sweden, the large Wallenberg family.
		Wallenberg's ally Szalay was sent to deliver a note to Schmidthuber explaining that Raoul Wallenberg would make sure that the general would be held personally responsible for the massacre and that he would be hanged as a war criminal after the war.
		Wallenberg requested, and was given permission to visit the Soviet military headquarters in the city of Debrecen east of Budapest.

	Raoul Wallenberg Summary
		Wallenberg is thought by the Israeli organization Yad Vashem to have personally saved the lives of many thousands of Hungarian Jews.
		Wallenberg was arrested by the Soviet Red Army on January 17, 1945 as they entered Budapest, probably on suspicion of being a spy for the United States.
		On February 6, 1957, under international pressure, the Soviets released a document they claimed to have found in their archives stating that "the prisoner Wallenberg, who is known to you, died last night in his cell." The document was dated July 17, 1947, and was signed by Smoltsov, then head of the Lubyanka prison infirmary.

	Raoul Wallenberg

		The handwritten document stated that “the prisoner Wallenberg, who is known to you, died last night in his cell.” The document was dated July 17, 1947, and was signed Smoltsov, head of the Lyublyanka prison infirmary.

		Wallenberg says of the company's investment in 3, Scandinavia's mobile services: "Of course you could say that we are trying to repeat what we did 150 years ago." Interestingly, a far larger percentage of its private equity holdings are outside Sweden, which analysts blame on the country's onerous taxation policies for fledgling businesses.
		The family may be powerful and on first-name terms with the world's rulers, but it is not outrageously wealthy (although there is a castle).
		Wallenberg believes this is the main reason the family has survived five generations in business, debunking the old saw "from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations".

		Wallenberg's wealthy, industrialist family and the Swedish government have maintained that he was executed by Soviet authorities.

	Report on Raoul Wallenberg Released
		Wallenberg belonged to one of Sweden's wealthiest and most prominent families.
