HOMMAGE TO RAOUL WALLENBERG BY CHARLES ADLER
Raoul
Wallenberg
Charles Adler on Raoul Walleberg and his
pride of being an immigrant to Canada.
“Over 500,000 Hungarians in
the land of my birth were murdered during the Holocaust. If there is one
human reason for my existence, if I am able to breathe freely tonight and speak
to you it is because of one person, Raoul Wallenberg.
How do I thank a man for my
own existence? I will thank the man representing the Canadian government
who made sure that Raoul Wallenberg is memorialized in the country that gave me
and my parents’ sanctuary.
My expression of gratitude to the
Government of my country on behalf of so many of the thousands of
children who are now living in Canada would never have been possible if not for
the man known as the world’s most righteous Gentile, Raoul Wallenberg.”
