Hardcover. Condizione: New. After the Germans ousted Hungary's ruler Admiral Horthy in favour of the fascist Arrow Cross party in 1944, thousands of Hungarian Jews faced murder by anti-Semitic thugs or deportation to the death camps. At great risk to his own life, the Swedish diplomat Valdemar Langlet helped many to escape. Never before translated into English, this memoir by one of the unsung heroes of the Second World War vividly captures the drama and tragedy of this terrifying time.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Although not as well known as Raoul Wallenberg, Valdemar Langlet was the savior of thousands of Jews in Budapest in the last two years of World War II. Entirely without the permission or the financial support of the Swedish Red Cross, he issued so-called "Letters of Protection," passport-like documents with official-looking stamps that frequently saved Hungarian Jews from deportation to the death camps. Then, when chaos broke out in the streets when the Germans put their Arrow Cross allies in power, and the approaching Red Army threatened to turn the city into a battleground, he risked his life to shelter Jews and other refugees in safe houses throughout Budapest. A gifted linguist, Langlet was able, in the early days, to deal directly with Hungarian officials, who were often eager to have the protection of the Swedish Red Cross emblem on their own houses as the war drew closer to the capital, and later with the Soviet commanders who took control after fierce fighting had destroyed much of Budapest. This is a unique and fascinating memoir of a man who, without any official authority or support from his own country, saved thousands of lives during one of the most terrible episodes in world history.

Summary: This remarkable memoir tells the story of one of WWII's forgotten heroes. Valdemar Langlet was responsible for saving thousands of Hungarian Jews from Nazi death camps - blazing the trail for the now legendary Raoul Wallenberg and others who worked alongside him. In the early years of the war Hungary appeared to be the only oasis for Jews fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe. But, in March 1944 German forces invaded and so began their so-called 'Reign of Terror'. Jews were herded into ghettos, robbed of their property and forced to wear the notorious yellow star. Then came the horrifying round-ups, mass deportations and the death marches.Langlet, a Swedish Red Cross delegate working in Budapest, witnessed first hand the cruel persecution of the Jews and was appalled. Under the protection of the Red Cross, he set up a special unit that issued documentation allowing Jews a safe route out of the country, and set up safe houses throughout the city. Thousands of Hungarian Jews were saved from almost certain death as result. These memoirs, published in English for the first time, provide a fascinating eyewitness account of these harrowing events, and are a long-overdue tribute to Langlet and his brave colleagues. 1 Kg.
