Per Anger (7 December 1913 – 25 August 2002) was a Swedish diplomat. Anger was Raoul Wallenberg’s co-worker at the Swedish legation in Budapest during World War II.
After Germany invaded Hungary on 19 March 1944, Anger became involved in efforts to aid Hungarian Jews. Anger originated the idea of issuing Swedish provisional passports. Anger and Wallenberg worked together taking direct action to save Jewish Hungarian citizens from deportation, sizing people from transports and distributing fake passports. Anger was arrested by Red Army officials together with Wallenberg, however he was released three months later, while Wallenberg never emerged again, becoming one of the 20th century’s most famous missing persons.
Per Anger is one of the characters in the novel The Wallenberg Dossier.
