Lund University Foundation together with Lund University and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute hosted an evening dedicated to the 100-year anniversary of Raoul Wallenberg’s memory.

The event took place in Culver City, Los Angeles, at the Wende Museum, a museum that preserves the cultural artifacts and personal histories of the Cold War-era.

The evening balanced history and research, together with personal experiences from the holocaust and human rights from both the speakers and attending guests. It was an emotional, memorable and inspiring evening.
