scrape, scratch, rub, gettem clean.
For those of you not familiar with story of Raoul Wallenberg, I strongly urge an internet research mission into the story of this man. He personally saved 100,000 Hungarian Jews in Budapest from a train ride to Auschwitz by: issuing them Swedish diplomatic passes, personally showing up at deportations and rescuing "his" Jews, and plain old courageous bluff when confronting his Nazi and Arrow Cross counterparts.
Adolf Eichmann was his main adversary; at one point Wallenberg had Eichmann to dinner at the Swedish legation, and he took the opportunity to turn off the lights, open the curtains in the eastward facing embassy, and then verbally take apart (step-by-step) Nazi dogma to Eichman's face. The glow through Wallenberg's window, on the eastern horizon, signaled the advance of the Russians. Eichmann silently sat through this spectacle, realizing that his time in Budapest was up. He hauled ass shortly thereafter, surviving until 1960, when Mossad agents kidnapped himn and brought him to Israel, where he was tried and hanged as a war criminal.
The tragedy of the whole story is that Wallenberg brought the Hungarian Jews to safety, then disappeared himself when he contacted a Soviet military unit. The Soviets put him into the Gulag system and then proceeded to lie about his fate for the next 40 years. To this day, no one has any idea what happened to Raoul Wallenberg.
The sickest part of this whole thing? Two of the Hungarians rescued by Wallenberg are Tom and Annette Lantos. To their credit (particularly Mrs. Lantos) they did dig briefly into Wallenberg's fate, after Mr. Lantos became a player in US political affairs. Sadly, their efforts resulted in nothing; Raoul Wallenberg, whom credible sources placed in the USSR prison system as near as the late 70's, has never been found.
And Tom Lantos has since demonstrated much un-Wallenberg-like behaviour......

A bump for the Grand Mufti's honored nephew, Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini who carries on the family tradition of murdering Jews to this day.
