Starting from Wallenberg's time in Budapest during 1944-1945, the book analyses how Wallenberg went from being a highly sensitive topic in Swedish politics to becoming a personification of humanitarian effort during the Holocaust, as well as a 'brand' in Swedish foreign politics. Fictional portrayals of Wallenberg are another essential feature. Looking at the many ways in which his life has been represented in monuments, on opera stages, in a television serial, and in a feature film, it becomes apparent that scholarly historical perspectives have not set the agenda for engagement with Wallenberg. Finally, this study raises a vital issue: how can Wallenberg's memory be kept alive as the distance to those events with which he was so powerfully connected recede into the background? 606 $aHistory / Modern / 20th Century$2bisacsh 606 $aBiography & Autobiography / Historical$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Holocaust$2bisacsh 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 610 00$ahistory in film and television$aWar Refugee Board$apolitics of memory$aHolocaust$asecret vs public diplomacy$acultural Americanization$amonuments$ahistory culture$ahistorical past vs practical past 615 7$aHistory / Modern / 20th Century 615 7$aBiography & Autobiography / Historical 615 7$aHistory / Holocaust 700 $aZander$b Ulf$01748464 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910872252203321 996 $aRaoul Wallenberg$94317974 997 $aUNINA
