WALLENBERG RAOUL: (1912-1945) Swedish architect, diplomat and humanitarian who served as Sweden's special envoy in Budapest from July - December 1944 during which time he was responsible for saving thousands of Jews in German-occupied Hungary during the Holocaust in the latter stages of World War II. A rare D.S., R Wallenberg, one page, oblong 8vo, Budapest, 22nd September 1944, on the printed stationery of the Royal Swedish Legation, in Hungarian. The partially printed document, completed in typescript, is a Schutz-Pass (protective passport) issued to Miss. Zsuzsanna Steiner and is addressed to the National Central Authority Supervising Foreigners, stating 'We are pleased to inform you that the Royal Swedish Legation in Budapest has issued a protective passport to Steiner Zsuzsanna urno [i.e. Miss] according to which the above-named person must be considered a Swedish citizen. The Legation kindly requests that the above-named individual be exempt from wearing the distinguishing symbol. The Legation certifies that the reciprocity mentioned in the relevant regulation exists with Sweden'. Signed by Wallenberg at the conclusion with a more complete signature than is usually encountered, and alongside the official oval ink stamp of the Royal Swedish Legation in Budapest. Some light overall age wear, two minor paperclip rust stains to the upper edge and a couple of neat splits to the folds, professionally repaired to a high standard to the verso. G
