Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg (1912-1947?), Swedish diplomat who worked in Budapest, during World War II to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. The inauguration of the original monument carved by Mr. Pál Pátzay was scheduled April 9, 1949 by the Wallenberg Committee but the communist regime removed it during the previous night. The parapet was destroyed, the sculpture was erected later in Debrecen (Hungary) but its origin was kept secret. Finally it was restored to the 50th anniversary of its demolition. (Budapest, District XIII)

Anna Kéthly’s ashes were repatriated and reburied in Budapest’s New Public Cemetery in 1990; her full rehabilitation followed in 1994. Honored with a statue and square named after her in Erzsébetváros, her memory is also preserved through several commemorative plaques across Budapest, despite the biographical inaccuracy of her portrayal in Márta Mészáros’s 2009 film The Last Report on Anna.
