A Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in the City of Gothenburg

The Raoul Wallenberg Monument, erected near the Haga Church in Gothenburg, grips visitors with its youthful depiction of a man who dared to defy death. Standing 2.45 meters high, the modest statue was conceived by Charlotte Gyllenhammar, a Stockholm artist. The monument brings to life a young Raoul Wallenberg, a hero whose story and tragic fate would echo around the world. Unveiled by Kofi Annan on May 25, 2007, the monument stands as a stirring testament to the power of one man’s courage. It is made of graphic concrete and bronze. It is just one of many memorials to Wallenberg found throughout Sweden and the world, each adding a piece to the legacy of the man who came to symbolize salvation to thousands.
