Inauguration of Raoul Wallenberg memorial outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Stockholm
The inauguration ceremony took place in the presence of Sweden’s Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and Raoul Wallenberg's sister Nina Lagergren.
STOCKHOLM (EJP)---A new memorial to Raoul Wallenberg was inaugurated in Stockholm, almost two weeks following the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Swedish diplomat who save the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews during WWII.
Novi Memorijal posvećen Raoulu Wallenbergu je otvoren u Stockholmu, dva tjedna nakon proslave 100- godišnjice rođenja švedskog diplomata koji je spasio tisuće mađarskih Židova u toku II. svjetskog rata. Ceremonija otvorenja bila je u prisutnosti švedskog premijera Fredrika Reinfeldta i sestre Wallenberga Nine Lagergren.
Spomenik je napravljen od umjetnika Ulle i Gustava Kraitza, koji su napravili i spomenik Wallenberga pred UN u New Yorku. Memorijal se sastoji od "klupe" preko koje je dijagonalno položena brončana aktovka. Na klupi je ugraviran tekst o Wallenbergu. To je 34. spomenik Wallenbergu. Prirodno je da se njegov spomenik nalazi upravo pred Ministarstvom stranih poslova jer je bio njihov zaposlenik, rekao je vladin koordinator za Wallenbergovu godinu, Olle Wastberg.
Jedna je grupa, koja je iz Izraela, tražila od švedske vlade da traži pomoć Interrpola u pronalasku mogućih svjedoka o sudbini švedskog diplomata.

"We would like the Riksdag to approve the issuing of a yellow notice to find Raoul Wallenberg," said Max Grenberg of the Raoul Wallenberg Honorary Citizen Committee to The Local on Wednesday. In a letter dated August 2011, Interpol outlined its position to the committee, saying that it would be willing to act on a yellow notice - used forlocating missing persons - if the request were to be made by the Swedish government.
Wallenberg was posted to Nazi-occupied Budapest in July 1944 and rescued thousands of Jews by issuing them protective passports in the final months of the Holocaust. The 32-year-old Wallenberg also acquired buildings to house as many Jews as possible and provide them with extraterritorial status....
Wallenberg was honoured with a Righteous Among the Nations award in 1963 after Israel created it to reward those who saved Jews during World War II.
He died under mysterious circumstances, after being last seen alive surrounded by Soviet officers in Budapest on January 17, 1945. In 1957, the Soviet Union released a document saying Wallenberg had beenimprisoned in the Lubyanka, the notorious building where the KGB security services were headquartered, and that he died of heart failure on July 17, 1947. But sceptics have questioned that version, with some saying he was executed. In 2000 the head of a Russian commission of investigation said Wallenberg was killed in the Lubyanka |
