A Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in the City of Gothenburg
Charlotte Gyllenhammar's work – which is in the form of a youth portrait of Raoul Wallenberg made on a stone tablet – presents young Raoul Wallenberg, who has not yet met with his fate. A sculpture just in front of the portrait – the concept of which is the testimony to the repressive nature of history – consists of two sleeping boys. There are many other memorials to Raoul Wallenberg in Sweden and around the world.
