Situated in a small park at Kew Junction, the 'Monument to Raoul Wallenberg' commemorates the courageous Swedish diplomat and humanitarian Raoul Wallenberg who undertook one of the most significant rescue of Jews during the Holocaust in World War Two. He was captured by Soviet troops in Budapest Hungary in 1945. The monument, created by Australian sculptor Karl Duldig, was initiated by Free Wallenberg Australia with the support of the former City of Kew. Unveiled in 1985, it was the last public work created by Duldig. Born in Poland, Duldig and his family fled Vienna in 1938 following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, eventually settling in Australia in 1941. As a sculptor, he was instrumental in introducing the Modernist style to an Australian audience, won the 1956 Victorian Sculptor of the Year Award​ and had an annual lecture established in his name by the National Gallery of Victoria. The artist’s home and studio have been preserved through the Duldig Studio museum and sculpture garden in Malvern East. The Duldig Studio holds the original terracotta maquette, the original of the bust and a number of working drawings of the 'Monument to Raoul Wallenberg'. A plaque on the rear of the sculpture reads: RAOUL WALLENBERG Swedish Diplomat, Humanitarian, Hero Of The Holocaust. In Budapest, Hungary, In 1944 He Saved The Lives Of Tens Of Thousands Of People Threatened By Nazi Mass Murder. He Was Arrested On January 17th 1945 By Soviet Troops, And Has Been Imprisoned In The Soviet Union Ever Since.
