Count Folke was appointed as UN Mediator in the first Arab-Israeli war, shortly before he was assassinated by Zionist extremists in 1948. French Colonel André Sérot was also killed in the assassination. He was resistance fighter who also saved many Jews. His wife had been deported in 1943 and then liberated in 1945 by a rescue operation initiated by Bernadotte. In part one of Killing the Count , we explore the story of Count Folke Bernadotte's efforts during World War II to help prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. Bernadotte negotiated the release of more than 30,000 prisoners, one third of them Jews, from German concentration camps, in an extraordinary humanitarian effort which would come to be known as the 'White Buses campaign'.
