83 - THE DIPLOMAT WHO DEFIED HITLER | Raoul Wallenberg (Swedish Official) | WWII

Threatening clouds hung low over Budapest, Hungary.

Soldiers shouted orders, dragging men, women, even children from their homes.

The icy wind cut through the thin clothing of the terrified Jewish families as they were forced toward the banks of the Danube River. There, in the gray dawn, the soldiers lined them up shoulder to shoulder.

“Shoes off!” Shouted the Nazi officer.

The people obeyed. A mother clutched her young son, whispering prayers next to his ear. An old man stared blankly at the black water that had already swallowed the bodies of those shot moments before.

Many were tied together in groups of three—especially the children—with only the middle child shot to save ammo before all three were pushed into the icy cold water.

Then, like an angel sent from heaven, a car swerved wildly, scattering the soldiers. The door burst open.

A tall man in a dark suitcoat leapt out, his voice cutting through the chaos,

“Stop what you are doing…! These people are under my protection!”
