"The Search for Raoul Wallenberg"

In the second leg of DKE Week, the Delta Delta chapter will host an exlusive scholarly discussion and presentation on Wednesday, April 30th at 6:00 PM in Harper 140 hosted by Professor Marvin Makinen:

Raoul Wallenberg was a humanitarian sent to Hungary under diplomatic cover to rescue Jews from the Holocaust and is credited with saving 15,000 lives.

On January 17, 1945 he was arrested by the Soviets. In 1957, responding to diplomatic pressure, the Soviets announced that Wallenberg had died of a heart attack in a Moscow prison, however his death has been disputed…

Come join us as Professor Makinen takes us into the hunt and describes his connection with Wallenberg. As part of the UN commision tasked with investigating Wallenberg's death, Makinen became involved in a series of events leading to being arrested by the USSR and incarcerated in Vladamir Prison for 2 years. We hope to see you there, Wednesday, April 30th at 6:00 PM in Harper 140.
