On July 9, 1944, a 31
year-old Swedish diplomat named Raoul Wallenberg went to Budapest
Hungary on a mission to save Jews from the horror of the Holocaust.
He used whatever diplomatic and inventive means he had to interrupt
Adolf Eichmann's efforts to exterminate an entire people.
"Courage and Compassion" is a sculpture created
to honor Raoul Wallenberg. It is a symbol of the triumph
of good over evil and love over hate.
The thirteen foot bronze sculpture by E.M. Adams was
commissioned by people who saw in Wallenberg all that
is good in humanity. It is located in Smith Field Park
in Parsippany, New Jersey, and is seen by thousands of
people every day.
A limited edition of 25 maquettes of Courage and Compassion
is available to the general public. At this time there
are only 3 sculptures available.
Each sculpture is fabricated using silicone bronze and
is mounted on a black marble base. The sculpture comes
with a certificate of authenticity and each sculpture
is signed and numbered by the artist. The finish (or
patina) is a warm honey color with a deep dark patina
on the inside of the forms. To own one of these sculptures
is a statement of hope and a celebration of the best
qualities of the human spirit.
