Honoured to meet with Katalin Sommer, one of the many thousands of Jews who were saved in Budapest by Raoul Wallenberg in 1945. I am grateful that she shared her memories and testimony with me. Stories like hers have to be passed on – not least to the next generation. https://t.co/GVJg5Ki3c7 #RaoulWallenberg #HolocaustSurvivor #NeverForget #HU
