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.
