Raoul Wallenberg-projektets arkiv

The Raoul Wallenberg project, which ran from 1989 to 1991, was to conduct and preserve interviews (on tape and in transcripts) with people who could talk about Swedish aid activities in Budapest in 1944-45. It conducted 170 such interviews: 12 in Sweden, 47 in Israel, 53 in Hungary, and 58 in the USA.

Series F2D and F3B contain, among other things, eight written interview responses and a unique collection of copies from archives in Budapest.  

This interview material, which forms the core of the project's archive, has been organized into two series of audio tapes (original recordings and working copies; see F2B) and a series of transcripts and translations (F2C). This register is attached to the archival index, which can be found online.
