Her Fervent Cause: Wallenberg’s Fate On Jan. 17, 1945, Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved 100,000 Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust, drove out of Budapest, accompanied by an “escort” of Russian soldiers. He went willingly, believ ing he was on his way to talk to the com mander of the Soviet forces about bringing emergency relief to the war-ravaged Hungarian capital. He did not know he was on his way to a lifetime of captivity. This year, on the 43rd anniversary of Wallenberg’s disappearance, an American Jewish woman, Rachel Oestreicher Haspel, will stand in Stockholm’s largest church and tell the Swedish people that today Wallenberg is a world-renowned hero. “That is something the Swedes still do not realize,” said Haspel, president of the Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States, shortly before leaving for Stockholm. Haspel operates the Wallenberg committee out of a tiny office at 127 E. 73rd Street in Manhattan with the help of an assistant. From there, she sends out a newsletter and informa tion to everyone who she believes can help the cause, including Wallenberg conmiittees in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. “I was born and brought up in Salisbury, N.C., where my father, Irvin Wallace Oestreicher, owned a department store and we were among the very few Jewish famihes in town,” she said. “My great-grandparents ar rived in this country in the late 18th and ear ly 19th centuries, coming from Germany and England.” After college and jobs in Tokyo and Rome, Haspel settled into marriage and motherhood in New York. Today, she is the mother of two daughters, Ashley Wallace, 15, and Samantha, 10.
