God afton, herr Wallenberg (1990)

A bleak story ,yes but no cheery way to tell it...

[9/10 · 26 January 2008]

Yes it is a very bleak story...but then taking into account that this happened in a besieged city with a De facto occupation frequent air raids fanatical right-wing mobs roaming about the fear of the Soviets falling on the town any moment and to top it all fanatical Race Crusaders exemplified by Adolf"Guten Abends Herr Wallenberg!"Eichmann...well...this ain't exactly Pollyanna!Raoul Wallenberg was definitely the classic "stuck between a rock and a hard spot"kind of guy...sadly he was what we would now call a collateral victim of the bigger realities of politics and yet he represents the best of Humanity...Go figure-Carlos Aneiro
