#CDSinfoHut: Swedish Diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was nominated for the #NobelPeacePrize in 1948 and 1949 for his efforts to rescue Hungarian Jews during World War II. In 1944 he established protected houses flying the flags of neutral countries, where jews could be protected from deportation to concentration camps. In 1945, he was arrested by Soviet authorities in Hungary and sent to prison in the Soviet Union. It is assumed that he died in prison in 1947. Wallenberg was never awarded a #NobelPrize. --- fb/cdsmananwala Follow us on Twitter @cdspak
