Raoul Wallenberg Monument, Bronze sculpture in Marble Arch district, London, England

The ten-foot bronze monument depicts Raoul Wallenberg standing against a wall composed of 100,000 protective passes outside Western Marble Arch Synagogue.

Queen Elizabeth II unveiled this monument in February 1997, during a ceremony attended by Israel's President Ezer Weizman and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

The statue represents Wallenberg's efforts to rescue Hungarian Jews during World War II by issuing protective passes under Swedish Crown authority.

Located near the Swedish Embassy at Great Cumberland Place, the monument stands as part of the public art collection in St Marylebone.

The structure was designated as a monument rather than a memorial, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding Wallenberg's fate in the Soviet prison system.

Location: City of Westminster
