“In the spiritual sense, [Raoul] Wallenberg is more alive than most of us who are still around living our ordinary, day-to-day lives. He is more alive than most of us, because of what he has done.”
—Tom Lantos, U.S. Congressman, rescued by Wallenberg.

 “When you think of what [Wallenberg] did, you ask yourself: 'But how come that there were so few Raoul Wallenbergs?' ”
 —Kofi Annan, U.N. Secretary General

 “As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich. [...] The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people.
They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives.”
—Albert Einstein (Dec. 10, 1945)
