Swedish "Schutzpass"

A document certifying Swedish protection signed by Ambassador Carl Danielsson. Fourteen diplomats active in Hungary during the Arrow Cross rule have received later the Righteous Among the Nations award. They were delegates of the neutral states (like Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or Vatican) or of international organizations, like the International Committee of the Red Cross or the Swedish Red Cross. They started the rescue activities in the spring of 1944 within the legal framework and tried to enlarge the circle of the rescued people as much as possible.
