Folke Bernadotte did so by negotiating with the enemy--shaking hands with Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Gestapo. Time was of the essence, as Hitler had ordered the destruction of all camps and everyone in them. A Forgotten Hero chronicles Folke's life and extraordinary journey, from his family history and early years to saving thousands of lives during WWII and his untimely assassination in 1948. A straightforward and compelling narrative, A Forgotten Hero sheds light on this important and heroic historical figure."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Bernadotte, Folke, $d 1895-1948. 650 8 $a Diplomats $z Sweden $x Biography. 650 8 $a Philanthropists $z Sweden $x Biography. 650 8 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 650 8 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $z Germany. 650 8 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Concentration camps $z Germany. 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529015544.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130011853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=627EA670432E11EA81CC186F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
