Wording on the plaque:

The period of Nazi rule in Germany (January 1933 to May 1945)
and particularly the years of the Second World War (1939–
1945) saw the attempted annihilation of the Jews of Europe
and the enslavement and destruction of millions of people
from many nations. During the Holocaust six million Jews –
including on and a half million Jewish children – were murdered.
Nazi Germany’s system of concentration camps, ghettos, murder
squads and killing centers engulfed Europe, and attempted
to destroy ethnic populations and entire cultures. The horrifying
success of the Nazi plan required the cooperation of hundreds 
of thousands of willing participants and the acquiescence or
indifference of millions more.

Here we honor Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat whose
heroic actions to save tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews
in 1944 are a contrast of the collaboration and silence which
dominated Europe. A 1935 graduate of the University of Michigan
College of Architecture, Raoul Wallenberg was taken captive
by Soviet forces at the end of World War II, disappearing from 
sight but not from memory.
