The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation (IRWF) is a non-governmental organization which researches Holocaust rescuers and advocates for their recognition. The organization developed educational programs for school to promote peace and civil service. Founded by Baruch Tenembaum, it has offices in Buenos Aires, New York, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro and Jerusalem. The organization bears the name of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved Jews and other persecuted people in Hungary during the Holocaust. He was captured by the Soviet Union and his death has been the source of controversy and secrecy. ==Research== IRWF is primarily a historical research organization, collecting information on different cases of rescuing during the Holocaust. As part of the research, the foundation gathers survivors saved by Wallenberg and others like him to interview them for the purposes of research and historic memory preservation. IRWF posts the transcripts online for others to read and use. It recently has pushed for researching more women saviors, dedicating a special section on their English language website for them. IRWF aims for its research subjects and honorees to gain official recognition by their local governments and organizations. In addition to Wallenberg, the IRWF has researched and honored numerous Rescuers of the Holocaust, such as: *Carlo Angela *Per Anger *Princess Alice of Battenberg *Gitta Bauer *Andris Bērziņš *Friedrich Born *Gilberto Bosques Saldívar *Aracy de Carvalho Guimarães Rosa *Irene Gut Opdyke *Jan Karski *Maria Kotarba *Carl Lutz *George Mantello *Dorothea Neff *Giovanni Palatucci *Giorgio Perlasca *Dimitar Peshev *Eduardo Propper de Callejón *Angelo Roncalli *Irena Sendler *Ho Feng-Shan *Aristides de Sousa Mendes *Luis Martins de Souza Dantas *Suzanne Spaak *Chiune Sugihara *Otto Weidt *Nicholas Winton 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
