Raoul Wallenberg Documentary Film

Duration: 5:12
Updated: 27 Dec 2013

The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation (IRWF) is proud to announce a new Documentary Film about Raoul Wallenberg and to be the fiscal sponsor. New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon and two-time Emmy Award winning Producer Brian Mait are joining forces with Director Brad Rothschild and Executive Producer Alex Ruthizer to tell the larger than life story of Raoul Wallenberg, the young heroic Swedish, who in 1944 left his life of luxury to volunteer for a dangerous mission to save 100,000 Hungarian Jews from certain death. This film will revive and preserve the legacy of Raoul Wallenberg and the purpose of this feature-length documentary film is to tell the larger than life story. The film will focus on his short life, time in America at the University of Michigan, his heroic and selfless action and his tragic disappearance into the Soviet gulag. The filmmakers will conduct research and film interviews in the U.S. and in Hungary, Sweden, Russia and Israel, as the film will also attempt to shed light on Wallenberg's fate, an unsolved mystery for nearly 70 years. The production is in the principal photography stage, and it is planned to be released for early 2015. Please find more information about this production at www.wallenbergfilm.com Donations: Donors wishing to preserve Wallenberg's legacy through this film are asked to make a 100% tax-deductible charitable donation to the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, the film's fundraising partner and a New York-based 501c(3). The film will include eyewitness accounts and interviews with the Jews he saved, his family, friends, colleagues/fellow rescuers and his captors. The documentary will be the first to incorporate newly released archives from the Wallenberg family, and Russian, Swedish, Israeli, Hungarian and American governments and institutions.

Irwin Cotler received the Raoul Wallenberg Centennial Medal

Duration: 1:16
Updated: 29 Oct 2014

Ottawa, October 28th, 2014 Canadian MP Irwin Cotler was awarded the Raoul Wallenberg Centennial Medal by the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation at a reception that took place on Tuesday, October 28, at the Parliament of Canada. The reception was co-hosted by Speaker of the House of Commons Andrew Scheer, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, and the Wallenberg Foundation. Cotler was recognized for his longstanding commitment to preserving the legacy of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during the Second World War before being arrested by the Soviet Union in 1945, and disappearing into the Soviet prison system. Wallenberg was named Canada´s first honorary citizen in 1985. The Wallenberg Foundation also recognized Cotler's efforts in Holocaust education, in the combating and prevention of mass atrocity, and in the defence of political prisoners worldwide, including Natan Sharansky and Nelson Mandela. Cotler served as counsel to the late Professor Guy von Dardel (half-brother of the Swedish diplomat) in the 1984 U.S. case Von Dardel v. USSR, which found the evidence "incontrovertible" that Wallenberg hadn t died in 1947 as the Soviets claimed. In 1990, Cotler chaired the International Commission on the Fate and Whereabouts of Raoul Wallenberg, and in 2001, he was instrumental in establishing January 17 as Raoul Wallenberg Day in Canada. Past recipients of the Raoul Wallenberg Centennial Medal include former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, and leaders of Greece, Denmark, Slovakia, and Armenia. The Speaker of the House of Common, Andrew Scheer, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Baird, the NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair and the Liberal Party leader, Justin Trudeau, all praised Professor Cotler for the award and thanked the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation for this well-deserved recognition and for the role played by the NGO in promoting the legacy of the Swedish hero. Dr. Paldiel gave a speech on behalf of the Wallenberg Foundation, stating that "we cannot think of a worthier recipient of this award than Prof. Irwin Cotler. This tribute trascends any partisan considerations and the presence of the leaders of the three main political parties is a clear reminder of that". He went on by quoting Eduardo Eurnekian, Chairman of the IRWF, by saying: "It is a great honour for the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation to present this award to our dear friend, Irwin Cotler, a great and outspoken defender of human rights causes who has made an outstanding contribution to spreading the legacy of Raoul Wallenberg. It is a special privilege to bestow this medal in the House of Commons of Canada, a country which has granted honorary citizenship to this Swedish hero". After receiving the medal from Dr. Paldiel, Cotler gave his acceptance speech, thanking the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation for this honor. He stressed that Raoul Wallenberg was not only a hero but also a victim and called upon President Putin to "open-up the archives" to finally determine what happened to Wallenberg. www.raoulwallenberg.net

23rd Raoul Wallenberg Lecture - Agnes Heller - 09/30/14

Duration: 82:47
Updated: 01 Oct 2014

The 2014 Wallenberg Medal was awarded to Agnes Heller, a distinguished philosopher and Holocaust survivor who seeks to understand the nature of ethics and morality in the modern world, and the social and political systems and institutions within which evil can flourish. Like Wallenberg, Professor Heller has demonstrated that courage is the highest expression of civic spirit. She has been witness to regimes that have organized murder, crushed dissent and persecuted independent voices. In 1944, as a young woman surviving in Budapest, she knew the name Wallenberg. She spoke out vigorously for autonomy and self-determination after the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Following the defeat of the 1968 Prague Spring, she went into exile and became the Hannah Arendt Visiting Professor of Philosophy in the Graduate Studies Program of The New School in New York. She is a highly influential scholar who publishes internationally-acclaimed work on ethics, aesthetics, modernity, and political theory. In 2010, she was awarded Germany’s Goethe Medal. Since retirement, Agnes Heller has returned to Budapest. She remains fully engaged in public life, speaking out against the neo-nationalist and anti-Semitic strains again current in Hungary. The Wallenberg Lecture was held on September 30, 2014 at the Rackham Graduate School in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A Raoul Wallenberg Ker.Szakk. és Szakiskola Nelson Mandela csapatának filmje a Levélíró Maratonra

Duration: 1:31
Updated: 15 Dec 2014

Az Összpont emberi jogi versenyünk középiskolás résztvevői feldolgozták az idei Levélíró Maraton egyik témáját, a korrupciót. A kínai Liu Ping elleni vádak politikailag motiváltak és a kínai aktivisták laza hálózatából álló Új Polgárok Mozgalma elleni hadjárat részei. A szervezet célja, hogy hirdesse a kormányzati szervek átláthatóságának és a korrupciós esetek nyilvánosságra hozatalának fontosságát. Ismerd meg a történetét, és ragadj tollat! "Sajátságos, hogy a huszonegyedik század elején sem a korruptak kerülnek tömlöcbe, hanem azok, akik tiltakoznak az uram-bátyám alapon szétlopott pénzeket szerző, adó vagy kapó bűnözők tevékenysége ellen. Az a rendszer fogta el s dugta rács mögé, amelyik váltig állítja, heves harcot folytat a gazdaságát behálózó korrupció ellen." - Vámos Miklós írja Liu Pingről, a korrupció ellen küzdő megkínzott és bebörtönzött kínai aktivistáról.

Updated: 02 Dec 2014

“Houses of Life” is an educational program lead by the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation aiming to identify, pay tribute and spread the actions of solidarity of institutions or individuals that extended a hand to the persecuted by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The program is taking place throughout Europe with the cooperation of Aleteia, the Catholic news agency, with direct involvement of its Editorial Director, Mr. Jesús Colina and Institutional Relations Manager, Ms. Silvia Costantini, http://www.aleteia.org/es . The purpose of “Houses of Life” program is to identify and honor those who reached out and helped people in need by risking their own lives, as well as the life of family and friends. There are public places such as convents, monasteries, churches, schools, and privately owned homes, where Jews persecuted by the Nazis were sheltered and were given food and medicines. “Seventy years after the end of the Second World War this educational proposal has an impact as it acknowledges and awards those who were on the front line and risked everything to help their fellow man” stated Mr. Eduardo Eurnekian, president of NGO International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.

Agnes Heller, 2014 Wallenberg Lecture

Duration: 82:47
Updated: 17 Nov 2014

On September 30, 2014 Wallenberg Medal was awarded to Agnes Heller, a distinguished philosopher and Holocaust survivor who seeks to understand the nature of ethics and morality in the modern world, and the social and political systems and institutions within which evil can flourish. Like Wallenberg, Professor Heller has demonstrated that courage is the highest expression of civic spirit. She has been witness to regimes that have organized murder, crushed dissent and persecuted independent voices. In 1944, as a young woman surviving in Budapest, she knew the name Wallenberg. She spoke out vigorously for autonomy and self-determination after the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Following the defeat of the 1968 Prague Spring, she went into exile and became the Hannah Arendt Visiting Professor of Philosophy in the Graduate Studies Program of The New School in New York. She is a highly influential scholar who publishes internationally-acclaimed work on ethics, aesthetics, modernity, and political theory. In 2010, she was awarded Germany’s Goethe Medal. Since retirement, Agnes Heller has returned to Budapest. She remains fully engaged in public life, speaking out against the neo-nationalist and anti-Semitic strains again current in Hungary. http://wallenberg.umich.edu/medal-recipients/2014-agnes-heller/ About the Wallenberg Medal and Lecture Each year the recipient of the Wallenberg Medal is invited to present a lecture at the University of Michigan. The medalists take the stage at Rackham Auditorium and share their stories with an audience drawn from our campus and many surrounding communities. Each Lecture is different. In some years, survivors of Nazi persecution recounted their physical resistance in face of hellish danger. In others, medalists considered the effect over the years that the bravery of friends and family has had on the course of history. Lectures have been given by politicians who explain why they resisted unjust governments and, in turn, worked to develop a new order, honoring their personal vision with decades of public service. Some medalists have focused on their missions: to reject a life of wealth and rescue people who are literally slaves of corrupt businesses; to devote a life to the non-violent and peaceful pursuit of human rights. What the Wallenberg Lecturers have in common is their ability to inspire all with their vision, and the reality of their strength to act upon that vision. Here is the power of an eyewitness account to convince us that, although evil truly occurs, with moral courage individual actions effect a change in the world. In their Lectures, the Wallenberg medalists reveal a common characteristic: they acted selflessly without expectation of reward. The Lectures are profiles of moral excellence in ordinary people. The words of the medalists help us to imagine how it is that some can see all people as human; they share a vision of human dignity.
