The Global Education Center is hosting a series entitled the Rescue in Budapest to commemorate the life of Raoul Wallenberg, and this is the first of many lectures.

Author and journalist Marianne Szegedy-Maszak  (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Esquire, etc.) recounts her parents’ life and escape from Hungary during the war. The daughter of a Hungarian and Christian diplomat father and a mother from a wealthy Jewish industrialist family, their story provides a glimpse of Hungarian Jewish life during this tumultuous period.
