The film exposes the question why it has taken more than 50 years before Raoul Wallenberg was honored with a monument in his own birthplace Stockholm. On August 24, 2001, the monument created by the artist Kirsten Ortwed was inaugurated on Raoul Wallenberg Square at Nybroviken, Stockholm. It also includes footage on memorials and more than 30 monuments dedicated to Wallenberg all over the world.
