Armed with only his bravery and moral courage, Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish
national who saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust during WWII.
Wallenberg's example raises issues about moral courage and individual
responsibility. This is about how one person can make a difference.
The
Toronto Reference Library has a multilingual collection of books, brochures,
films and more on Raoul Wallenberg and events surrounding World War II. Don't
miss the display near the Beeton Auditorium. Here's a sampling:
