“The Search For Raoul Wallenberg – The Truth” is the inspiring true story of the search for a disappeared World War II hero and its impact on current events.
This book tells a true story which reaches back over 100 years, touches on the lives of over 100,000 people, involves the governments of four countries, includes hundreds of documents, and both exposes scandals, and showcases heroism.
There are many books about Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish Diplomat, who saved 100,000 innocent lives in Budapest, Hungary – Europe’s last remaining Jewish community – during World War II. Wallenberg acted on behalf of President Roosevelt’s War Refugee Board using American tax-payer dollars, and contributions of wealthy American individuals. At the end of World War II, all foreign Diplomats that the Soviet army came into contact with during liberation, were taken into “protective custody” on Stalin’s orders. Wallenberg was reported to have been seen in Soviet prison as late as the 1980’s.
This book is unique. It tells the true story about all the behind the scenes activity involved in the search for the disappeared Raoul Wallenberg. It starts with the sensationalism surrounding the alleged sightings of Raoul Wallenberg in Soviet prisons, and the efforts to either accomplish his release – or stop the sensationalism.
The book covers the release of Wallenberg’s prison records from the Soviet Union, where the idea originated, why it was important, how it was done, and the background of the impartial investigation which followed. In addition, it exposes the people who tried to prevent the truth, the reasons why, who confronted them, and those who worked tirelessly on behalf of this great hero.
This story has its humble beginnings in Glen Cove and Sea Cliff, Long Island. The book will demonstrate what an individual can accomplish if they are dedicated, imaginative, courageous, and compassionate. Further, the book extends into the future by advocating implementation of lessons learned, avarice avoided, and compassionate lifestyles adopted.
This book is timely. It is especially valuable in today’s troubled times. Current times are characterized by terrorism; alienation, on both personal and national levels; and deterioration in both infrastructure and diplomacy. This book promotes civility, respect, and dialogue. It builds bridges, not walls. It is unifying, and inspiring, selfless, not selfish, idealistic, not materialistic. It is life affirming and seeks to make the world a better place.
This is not just about a book, or just about the inspiration of the selfless heroism of Raoul Wallenberg, it is a movement to promote compassion for all. It is a worldwide movement.
“During the time of the holocaust, the world stood silently by as the Jews of Europe were murdered. But Raoul Wallenberg was singularly responsible for the rescue of many thousands of Hungarian Jews. He stood tall in the face of evil and darkness. It is because he existed in a world so devoid of moral precepts that no one could believe … that he was acting out of profound and unprecedented humanity. It is for this reason that he must not be forgotten. It is for this reason that we must work together tirelessly until his true fate is ascertained … a man who, to this day exemplifies the positive potential of a single individual to do so much good. The pursuit of truth is a noble calling.”
“What a wonderful legacy you have planned. You are still doing great work and preserving the enduring legacy of your namesake.”
“I have known Sharon Wallenberg for over 30 years. I witnessed first-hand her relentless efforts in her search for information about the disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg. I have never met anyone with such determination to seek out the truth, document, and educate the public on a topic of such
importance.
Recently I was fortunate to have the privilege to review her manuscript and evidentiary attachments to prove how significant Raul Wallenberg was in saving the lives of thousands of Hitler’s victims, and the truth regarding his disappearance.
I would not hesitate to refer to Sharon’s work as a “Master Piece”, worthy of wide publication for the edification of those seeking to learn the truth about Raoul Wallenberg.”
“This book is an excellent account of this story of Wallenberg, full of so many unexpected twists and turns, which still has so many unanswered questions. I wasn’t aware of his contribution, so this was the first I had read about his life and disappearance. It is written with great passion, clarity and attention to detail.”
