About this ebook

It is widely known that the Swedish diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg, worked in Budapest, Hungary, during WWII to save the lives of over 100,000 Jews from Nazi extermination. But what happened after the hero disappeared in 1946? This never-before told story reveals Wallenberg's detention by the Russians and relates the legal and diplomatic efforts of the author, Morris Wolff, and others to gain (or impede) his release from the Soviet Union. Playing a role in the saga are such participants as Chief Justice John Roberts, President Richard Nixon, President Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger and Leonid Brezhnev. Attorney Wolff's efforts to gain justice for the kidnapped Swedish hero, which began in 1983, continue to this day.

"All lawyers and human rights advocates who wish to contribute to the good, and to be master builders of justice in our country must read this book."

Barack H. Obama, President of the United States

"In this fascinating book Morris records the details of his twenty-seven year search for Wallenberg. But most of all you will read a good book, and witness how much one man can do to achieve Justice."

William J. Clinton, President of the United States

"As a Holocaust Survivor I deeply appreciate the work of Morris Wolff in representing Raoul Wallenberg in federal court, and his fight for Wallenberg's freedom. I have helped Morris in a small way as you will learn as you read the pages of this excellent and courageous book."

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Author of Night and other books

"I commend this excellent book to you. Read it: cheer and weep! It records an important and hair raising moment in world history."

Anatole Scharansky, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Author

Morris Wolff

In 1993 Morris Wolff received the United Nations Peace Award for Humanitarian Service at Carnegie Hall. In 1983, along with Rosa Parks, he was awarded the National Council of Christian and Jews annual award for humanitarian service for his work with Attorney General Robert Kennedy in helping to write the United States Civil Rights Act of 1964.Morris practiced international law and trial law in Philadelphia from 1970 to 1993 as a partner with the Honorable Harold E. Stassen, former Governor of Minnesota and one of the five original signers of the United Nations Charter. During that period Morris was also a Professor of International Law and Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and served for two years as the Chief Assistant District Attorney of the City of Philadelphia. In March of 1983 Morris was asked by Guy von Dardel of Stockholm, Sweden, half-brother of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, to sue the Soviet Union to force them to release his brother Raoul. This book tells the Wallenberg story of heroic life saving work in Hungary and reports on Morris's pro bono effort in US Federal Court in Washington DC to achieve this awesome task of rescue. Morris Wolff is a distinguished lawyer and law professor. He is a cum laude graduate of Amherst College and of the Yale Law School, where he studied international law under Sterling Professor Myres McDougal and Federal Judge Guido Calabrese, of the U.S.Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Morris currently resides in Florida where he continues his career as an Associate Professor and Director of the Bethune-Cookman University Wild Cats Write! Program for Entering Freshmen.
