The Wallenberg Institute has adopted the award winning documentary Encounter Point as the keystone of its 2008 Middle East Peace Project. Part of our plan is to build an ongoing Middle East Peace Dialog with both Interfaith and Political components on the net as an outcome of our 2008 work. "Encounter Point" introduces us to dozens of everyday heroes, courageous Israelis and Palestinians working together to make co-existence and reconciliation a reality. Their insights are shaping a new paradigm of compassion and courage. "Love heals spiritually, physically, psychologically and politically. Politics is about relationships. Come to any relationship with a clear conscience, an open heart, and rolled up sleeves and the best that resides within us will manifest itself. G-d, and the universe rejoices, and the true nature of our souls are exercised." -- Rebecca Tobias, Wallenberg Institute Program Coordinator

Survivors
Please Help Us Before These Stories Are Lost Swedish Diplomat Raoul Wallenberg saved the lives of over 100,000 Jews in Hungary from 1944 to 1945. He issued schutz-passes (protective passes), and maintained a number of safehouses throughout Hungary. He was detained by the Soviet government in 1945, and his subsequent whereabouts are still unknown. The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics is currently working to document and archive the stories of those who met Wallenberg or were saved by his courageous deeds. If
you or someone you know were in Budapest during 1944 or 1945 and would
like to contribute to this archive by offering your personal testimony,
please call Rebecca Tobias at 310-916-8888 or email at Rebecca@raoulwallenberginstitute.org.
