I expected this to be about Folke Bernadotte [0]. Also a Swedish diplomat, he rescued about 31,000 prisoners from Nazi concentration camps. Bernadotte didn't disappear, though. As the UN Mediator in Palestine, he negotiated the ceasefire of the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948 and was surprisingly prescient in that capacity: 'After the truce was in place, Bernadotte began to address the issue of achieving a political settlement. The main obstacles in his opinion were "the Arab world's continued rejection of the existence of a Jewish state, whatever its borders; Israel's new 'philosophy', based on its increasing military strength, of ignoring the partition boundaries and conquering what additional territory it could; and the emerging Palestinian Arab refugee problem."' [1] For his efforts, he was assassinated by Zionist terrorists, including the later Prime Minister of Israel.
