New Wallenberg Evidence Surfaces

The U.S. Postal Service paid tribute to World War II hero Raoul Wallenberg in 1997 when it issued a 32-cent commemorative stamp bearing his likeness. New evidence from Russian archives suggests that Wallenberg, credited with rescuing tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, was alive after Soviets reported that he had died in a Moscow prison, a Swedish magazine and U.S. researchers reported Thursday April 1, 2010. The fate of Wallenberg, who was arrested in Budapest in January 1945 by the Soviet army, has remained one of the great mysteries of World War II. The Soviets claimed he was executed in July 17, 1947 but never produced a reliable death certificate or his remains. Witnesses claim he was seen in Soviet prisons or labor camps many years later, although those accounts were never verified. Now, the archives of the Russian Security Services say a man identified only as Prisoner No. 7, who was interrogated six days after the diplomat's reported death, was "with great likelihood" Wallenberg.(AP Photo/file) Question: Can you explain to newcomers what Wallenberg's ties are to the Coeur d'Alene area?
