A monument to Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was unveiled last Friday in the Stockholm suburb where he was born. The 13-foot-tall statue depicts Wallenberg with his hands behind his back, symbolizing how he secretly gave Swedish passports to Jews fleeing the Nazis when he served as a diplomat in wartime Budapest.
