Raoul Wallenberg at 100

Raoul Wallenberg at 100

How do you celebrate the centennial of one of the most outstanding heroes of the 20th century? August 4 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Raoul Wallenberg. To mark this important year, the United States conferred a Congressional Medal of Honor on Wallenberg in April. The Swedish government has organized an international traveling exhibition, titled “To Me There’s No Other Choice,” which will be on view in the Michigan Union in February 2013. In conjunction with the exhibition, a lecture by Ingrid Carlburg, who has recently published a new biography on Wallenberg, will be sponsored by Taubman College. The dates will be posted here as they become available.
