Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, also known as 'Swedish Schindler' for saving thousands of Jews during the Holocaust, has been declared dead 71 years after his disappearance. Wallenberg had acquired buildings designated as neutral Swedish territory in Hungary to house Jews and provide them with extraterritorial status. He also issued Swedish papers to Jews, allowing them to flee the country.
