Introduction

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 1 –27

[Since the 1980s there has been broad public acknowledgement of Raoul Wallenberg’s humanitarian activity on behalf of the Hungarian Jews during World War II. This is manifested by the existence of monuments erected in his honor. By 2008, 31 Wallenberg monuments had been erected in 12 countries on...

The Monuments’ Protagonist

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 31 –33

[A personal monument is a monument to a real person. To meaningfully analyze that monument, the critic must know that person’s history. But a monument is not a work of history. Personal monuments do not aim to function as documents about historical persons. Though a monument originates from a...

Raoul Wallenberg’s Life, Mission, and Fate

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 34 –40

[Raoul Gustaf Wallenberg was born in Stockholm on August 4, 1912. He was a member of a prominent Swedish family, the Wallenbergs, who for generations had played an important role in the country’s economic, political, and social life. His father, Raoul Oscar (1888–1912), was a naval officer, who...

Raoul Wallenberg in Historiography and Popular Imagination

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 41 –50

[The majority of books on Wallenberg have not been written by historians, but by journalists such as Rudolph Philipp, who wrote directly after the war, John Bierman, Harvey Rosenfeld, and Elenore Lester, who all published in the beginning of the 1980s when Wallenberg became known outside Sweden...

Raoul Wallenberg—A Hero’s Tale

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 51 –68

[By working out what makes the Wallenberg narrative so suitable to be told as a hero’s tale, I simultaneously outline the story’s many dimensions, providing the general background for an understanding of the Wallenberg monuments. By doing so, the potential of Wallenberg’s story will become clear...

The Monuments as Part of the Wallenberg Commemoration

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 69 –77

[Today, Raoul Wallenberg is decorated with honorary citizenships, commemorated by innumerable newspaper articles and books, documentary as well as feature films, theater plays, symphonies, and musicals. Stamps of several nations have published his portrait. Streets, public buildings, and...

Raoul Wallenberg’s Deed

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 81 –132

[One of the prerequisites for being accorded hero status is engagement in an “epic fight against perils.” It is in the process of confronting perils that the hero demonstrates the heroic qualities of vitality, power and defiance of death. As evidenced in Greek mythology, the refusal to turn away...

Raoul Wallenberg’s Fate

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 133 –168

[We have now examined the work of artists who chose to depict Wallenberg as the man of action, ready by physical or intellectual force to intervene and rescue those in danger. At this point we will now encounter artists who depicted Wallenberg as hero-as-victim, a man who became a victim himself,...

Raoul Wallenberg’s Legacy

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 169 –232

[In the following section of this study, we will investigate the monuments that refer to Wallenberg in a more general sense than did the previous examples, which focused on Wallenberg’s deed or fate. The monuments in this section aim at expressing what their creators regarded as the...

Raoul Wallenberg’s Insubordination

Schult, Tanja

Pages: 233 –255

[Although not dealt with in Part I, it should be acknowledged that it is not only through classical hero patterns (an extraordinary courageous man fighting evil) that Wallenberg’s story can be told. Other readings can also be found when studying his life. For example, many statements, including...
