A man with a heart
whose courage knew no bounds.
A guardian angel of human life.
May his example be honoured for all time.

A Swedish diplomat stationed in Budapest, Hungary
from July 1944 to January 1945

In the midst of the most terrifying period of the Holocaust
he risked his life on a daily basis and saved from
certain death tens of thousands of Jewish men, women
and children.

In fighting the Nazis and Hitler's accomplices
he was arrested, tortured and swallowed up forever
by Stalin's henchmen.
