In his Wallenberg Lecture, Per Anger, a Swedish diplomat in Budapest during World War II, said he last saw Raoul Wallenberg in January 1945, as both evaded Nazi troops. “I told him to hide because they were searching for him … He said, ‘I could never go back (to Sweden) without knowing I have done everything I can to save all the people I can.’ And so he was arrested.” A 1935 U-M graduate, Wallenberg is credited with saving thousands of Jews in Hungary before his arrest and disappearance. — The University Record and The Wallenberg Medal & Lecture website.
