* DeathMarch: The Nazis resort to forcing the Jews that still remain in Budapest to march 250 km [[note]]155 miles[[/note]] to the train station in Hegyeshalom at the Austrian border where the trains to Auschwitz wait. In the event that the trains aren't running, they're forced to walk the rest of the way as well, all as part of a deliberate effort to kill as many of them as possible.

!! ''Wallenberg: A Hero's Story'' contains the following tropes:
* {{Ambadassador}}: The neutral diplomats.
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: To put it mildly.
* BittersweetEnding: The film ends with the liberation of the ghetto and Wallenberg's arrest by the Soviets.
* BlatantLies: Hannah and Nikki are not Rabbi Mandel's children.
* BookEnds: The film begins and ends with a narration by Per Anger.
* CentralTheme: The gift of life.
* DiplomaticImpunity: Used for good.
* FromBadToWorse: When the Arrow Cross take over.
* HalfTruth: Wallenberg claims to be half-Jewish as opposed to one-sixteenth Jewish.
--> '''Wallenberg:'''All right, I'm one-sixteenth. Call me a liar for a fraction.
* HumbleHero: Wallenberg calls 20,000 people alive because of the papers he gave them "few".
* KarmaHoudini: Eichmann escapes to Argentina where he lives until the 1960s.
* LoopholeAbuse: Wallenberg bought buildings and declared them extra-territorial, giving them diplomatic immunity.
* RefugeInAudacity: Wallenberg rented 32 buildings in Budapest, declared them to be auxiliary embassy facilities — technically Swedish territory, and therefore off limits to the Hungarians and their German allies — and used them as safe houses. He also printed up thousands of "protective passports" identifying the bearers as Swedish citizens, and handed them out to every Hungarian Jew he met — even, on one occasion, those locked in the boxcars on a train departing for Auschwitz! At one point, he ran on top of a train carrying Jews to be killed and stuffing papers into the cars that the Jews could use to semi-legally escape. While Nazis shot at him.
* RightUnderTheirNoses: The whole rescue operation happens right under the noses of the Nazis and Arrow Cross.
* SigilSpam: Justified to make the protective passports look official.
