Interesting, though the cadence is sometimes a bit monotonous and not as memorable.

Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg led the effort to thwart Adolf Eichmann and to protect 100,000 Jews in Budapest, Hungary until the Soviets conquered the city in January 1945. After that, Wallenberg drove east to the Russian field headquarters to ask for help with the remaining Jews. He was instead arrested, and sent to Moscow, where he (probably) died in 1947.

p224 Vera Herman was invited to speak at Rider University in New Jersey in 1983' "... we are all human beings. Only after this do we belong to educational, ethnic, political, racial, religious, or social groups. If we accept that which unites us, our common humanity, the reasons that divide us should not matter."
