inspirational. Shows the difference one person can make. Wallenberg , a true hero. Why was he held a prisoner, when he should have been hailed a hero at end of war??
I’m afraid much of our history will not be remembered by the next couple of generations. It is amazing how heroic some of these people were during world war 2,
Wonderful history about a man and his deeds that few of us know about. Equal to Schindlers List.
Mr. Wallenberg is a remarkable man! Heroic is an understatement. It’s not an easy read but it is most worthwhile!
Wonderful book about a wonderful man.
shows what one person standing up against wrong can achieve. if only other people in powerful positions would have taken a stand many more lives could have been saved.
If you like World War II stories, you should like this one.
Insight into the life of a hero that leaves reader frustrated on how he was allowed to disappear.
I think everyone should read this book.It is a part of WW2 history that has been hidden and some of it still is.
The story of caring strongly about suffering people and putting himself in danger to help! Inspiring and interesting to say the least!
Very interesting story of a man who surely made a difference in this world.
Wow. What a story. I can’t believe I had never heard of Wallenberg before. This is the true story of a man’s courage and bravado in service of saving thousands of lives. I won’t give away the story, but it is one of those stories where the individual is caught up in such a vast net, that it is hard to find a way out. Sobering.
It was wonderful to learn details of the trials and tribulations of a honest to God hero! A real good read.
Great information on a man so few people even know about.
I’m really sorry to say I read a few chapters and it was just too grim. But if you can read about genocide and abuse and horrible people, then this book is for you. It is well written and informative, and about a hero, but there was just too much tragedy for me.
Excellent and informative. We must never forget that this kind of hatred exists and that HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF. Our current political scene is like looking in a mirror. Many are uninformed and think that Socialism is the way to go’THINK AGAIN.
Fantastic true story of a great humanitarian. Though it has a tragic ending , it is hugely inspiring.
It’s a very real perspective of what happened during the war as well as the journey of making a life afterward.
I did not like the way it was written. Either more story and people or less going on and on. 🙁
Very interesting read about Raul Wallenberg.
