Rudolph Philipp papers on Raoul Wallenberg 1933-1947

http://archives.nypl.org/mss/6317

Author Rudolph Philipp wrote the first biography on Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who protected thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Second World War by issuing them Swedish "protective passports." Following the Soviet entry into Hungary in January of 1945, Wallenberg disappeared. It was suspected that he was taken into Soviet custody and sent to a labor camp. This collection documents Philipp's book publishing efforts in the United States and the efforts of Wallenberg's brother Guy von Dardel to locate him.
