A team of researchers believes it has found proof that the Soviets-Russians hid information on Raoul Wallenberg

It has long been suspected that Russia has deliberately concealed information on the fate of Raoul Wallenberg, the courageous Swedish diplomat who rescued thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust.

Wallenberg was arrested in Budapest after Soviet troops entered the city in 1945 and never seen again.

And to this very day, leftists still think that communists and the USSR weren’t all that bad... See the NY Times, and their defense of Walter Durante and the Pulitzer Prize he got for disseminating Stalin’s lies about the murder of some 50 million people!

Wallenberg was a selfless hero, but the leftists will probably say, since he saved Jews, he got what he deserved.
