The Wallenberg Lecture Series honors Raoul Wallenberg for his legendary acts of compassion and celebrates architecture and urban planning as a human social art. A 1935 graduate of the U-M College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Wallenberg has been called one of the century’s most outstanding heroes. As first secretary of the Swedish delegation in Budapest in 1944, he is credited with saving more than 100,000 Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis. The following year, Wallenberg was captured by the Russians. Although his fate is unknown, rumors persist that he is held in Russia even today.
