Prisoner #7
Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg (circa 1937)
Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg is credited for having saved more than 20,000 Jews from extermination during World War II. He was arrested by the Russians in 1945, and never seen or heard from again. The reasons for his arrest remain unclear.
In a recently released story, Wallenberg is said to have been seen several times in prison by eyewitnesses who referred to him only as 'Prisoner #7', long after his reported execution in 1947. His disappearance remains one of the great mysteries of World War II.
