Stockholm/JTA — Russia said it
would continue to help Sweden
research what happened to Swedish
diplomat Raoul Wallenberg.
Stockholm vowed to press on with
its probe even after a joint Swedish-
Russian panel filed a report last week
on the fate of Wallenberg, who saved
tens of thousands of Jews during the
News Digest
Holocaust.
That report, submitted after a 10-
year probe, left much of the mystery
surrounding Wallenberg unsolved.
