Action by Independent Researchers to find the whereabouts of Raoul Wallenberg

After more than sixty years of research we still have no acceptable proof for Raoul Wallenberg's death in 1947. Some important archives are still to be opened, especially in Russia. The work to find the truth about the whereabouts of Raoul Wallenberg has been done conducted by various researchers, as well as by writers and film producers. They represent a wide variety of views. All, however, agree that there are still many unanswered questions which deserve to be thoroughly examined before the question of Raoul Wallenberg's fate can be laid to rest.

  • Susanne Berger: Her research addresses the wider political and economic aspects of Wallenberg's humanitarian mission to Budapest, as well as their associated effects on the investigation of his disappearance. For six years she served as a consultant to the Swedish-Russian Working Group on the Fate of Raoul Wallenberg.

  • Tom and Annette Lantos:

  • Susan Mesinai: In 1991, she co-founded the ARK Project, to seek RW and other foreign prisoners taken illegal captive by the Soviets.

They tried to find Raoul, supposedly in a camp near Moscow ( according to a witness of Sonja Sonnenfeldt, and given to him by Guy von Dardel).
