| Abstract

|
During the time frame of European and American history, 1932-1945 CE, there were two forces seemingly in absolute opposition to one another, though distinctly parallel. In one part of the world you had the rise of Adolf Hitler in a post war Germany while simultaneously a great American leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was stepping into his own leadership role as President of the United States. One destined for infamy and the other destined to go down in history as one of the most influential Leaders of the twentieth century. Great evil would be unleashed, rooted in its beginnings in Germany, infected with fascist ideals and race superiority. The counterbalance, an alliance of British, Russian, and American forces that would join together to combat this tyranny, as evil was triumphing average citizens would rise in defense of the persecuted. This thesis will not only honor their courage and sacrifice though will also pay tribute to the persecuted that had to senselessly endure such hate. This thesis will examine what constituted right action by those on an individual basis who in a time of great suffering would bring to bear a truth of selflessness, in the face of even certain death these individuals gave of themselves for others at great risk. Their actions a belief in what constituted right action even when that could mean death. One of these men was Raoul Wallenberg, for he gave all and paid a great price in his unwavering service to others. The overall aim of this thesis is to look at what aspects of U.S. policy during this time could have contributed to his arrest on January 17, 1945 leading to one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century. This thesis will introduce theories not yet looked at or considered based on original findings.
