Carl Lutz

Carl Robert Lutz (30 March 1895 – 12 February 1975) was a Swiss diplomat who most notably served as the Swiss Vice Consul to Hungary in Budapest from 1942 until the end of World War II. He is credited with saving over 62,000 Jews during the Second World War in possibly the largest rescue operation of the Holocaust. Due to his actions, half of the Jewish population of Budapest survived and were not deported to Nazi extermination camps during the Holocaust. He was awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.
