' A few hours later, my mother returned. And it was a miracle because nobody returned. And my mother said it was Wallenberg.'
There were lots of decent people, who were more than bystanders, who tried to hide people and to rescue them. But what Raoul Wallenberg did was to confront the Nazis face to face and to retrieve people who were already in their clutches. This was totally unheard of.' Is the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during the last year of the War still alive in a Soviet prison despite Russia's denial of his existence? David Wheeler talks to the hero's family and colleagues, the survivors and campaigners, and argues that Wallenberg, now 67, is still awaiting release from arrest without charges 35 years ago.

' She liked to say it was " inconvenient " on the general ground that a lady should appear to complain beautifully when doing a kindness to someone outside her own class; lately she had been keeping an afternoon for a rather quaint person, a young man called Sidney.' In a reading related to the preceding Bookshelf programme, Brenda Kaye reads from Sir Victor Pritchett 's latest collection of short stories. Producer BRIAN COOK

A series of talks for Lent 5: From Africa
'Africa has taught me,' says Dr Colin Morris , former President of the Church in Zambia, ' that the Kingdom of God is not for the conventionally good, but for the utterly desperate.'
Questions for discussion after the programme:
1: It is estimated that by the year 2000 there will be more Christians in Africa than in the whole of the rest of the world. Why?
2: The Christian Gospel was first preached to an agricultural community. Does this explain why it seems to strike home to the African people much more effectively than to the industrialised Westerner?
3: Can Christianity be described as a world faith? Introduced by Colin Semper

In ten programmes Colin Semper explores the thinking of those who have claimed a special knowledge of the divine. 9: Jacob Boehme
'Since you desire me to tell you how to forsake your own perverse creaturely will, I must assure you that there is but one way to do it. which is narrow and straight, and will be very hard and irksome to you at the beginning, 'but afterwards you will walk upon it cheerfully,' Written by PENELOPE WALLACE
