The Global Education Center is hosting a series entitled the Rescue in Budapest to commemorate the life of Raoul Wallenberg.

David Frey (United States Military Academy, West Point) discusses the critical role Jews played in the development of the sound film industry in Hungary during the 1930s, and how Hungarian authorities subsequently attempted to remove Jewish Hungarians from employment in the industry.
