Ep81. Shadows of Raoul Wallenberg – Part 3/ The Silence Around Wallenberg – with Susanne Berger

Raoul Wallenberg disappeared in January 1945. What followed raises questions Sweden has never fully answered. Why did Swedish officials repeatedly ask the Soviet Union to declare him dead?

Why did diplomatic pressure ease — even when new information emerged? Was this hesitation accidental… or strategic? What is missing from the archives — and why? Why do intelligence records thin out or vanish after the 1950s?

And how should we understand internal remarks suggesting the case could no longer be pursued? One question still cuts through the silence: Was Raoul Wallenberg’s mother, Maj von Dardel, correct in her intuition? This episode examines silence as method.
