Per Anger

Per Anger was a diplomat assigned to the Swedish Legation in Budapest during World War II and worked with Raoul Wallenberg in his efforts to save Hungarian Jews from annihilation by the Nazis. For his work a tree was planted in Yad Vashem in Israel in his honor for having saved Jews. Anger later became Swedish Ambassador to Canada and Swedish Ambassador to Australia. Throughout the rest of his diplomatic career, he continued to support efforts of the Swedish Foreign Ministry to press the Soviet government for full disclosure of Raoul Wallenberg’s fate.
