Raoul Wallenberg saved the lives of more Jews than any other individual, organization or government during the entire Holocaust. Between face-offs with the notorious Nazi colonel, Adolf Eichmann, and secret dealings with the wife of one of Hungary's most prominent fascist leaders, Wallenberg was able to accomplish more in six months than most people do in a lifetime. When the war ended, Wallenberg was abducted by the Russians, never to be seen again.

Also in the cast of 35 are Andrea Burns, Hal Davis, Ron DeStefano, George Dvorsky, Alice Evans, Colby Foytik, Dennis Holland, A.J.
