International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation

The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation (IRWF) is a non-governmental organization which researches Holocaust rescuers and advocates for their recognition. The organization developed educational programs for school to promote peace and civil service. Founded by Baruch Tenembaum, it has offices in Buenos Aires, New York, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, and Jerusalem. The organization bears the name of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved Jews and other persecuted people in Hungary during the Holocaust. He was captured by the Soviet Union and his death has been the source of controversy and secrecy. On 27 October 2023, the Foundation revoked the Honorary Membership of António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, following his declaration that the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel "did not come in a vacuum".
