Good morning everyone! Today in 1945, Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews from the Nazis, disappeared in Hungary while in Soviet custody. Moscow authorities admitted years later that he died in custody, but the circumstances remain a mystery. Wallenberg was the first person named an honorary citizen of Canada. Also today in 1773, Capt. James Cooks ship, Resolution, was the first ship to cross the Antarctic Circle and in 1976, the Canadian experimental communications satellite Hermes was launched at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Have a great day!
