"Stateless, daring and crazy," the English called Gilel Storch, as he prepared to travel down to Berlin to negotiate with Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler on the rescue of Jews. Storch, a Jewish refugee who came to Sweden from Latvia in 1940, was not a man backed by the absurd. He was prepared to negotiate with anyone about anything, but that could save Jews from the Holocaust. So he and his staff also became the ones behind, or were driving, many of the rescue operations during the war: Raoul Wallenberg's mission in Hungary, the food deliveries to the concentration camps, the rescue of non-Scandinavians in the Bernadotte campaign, etc. And Storch had a diverse group of employees: from Jewish activists in Stockholm to Himmler's personal masseur, Felix Kersten.
