How is Kofi Annan related to Raoul Wallenberg?
Raoul Wallenberg’s sister is the mother-in-law of Annan. Raoul Wallenberg’s brother, Professor Guy von Dardel, a well known physicist, retired from CERN, is dedicated to finding out his brother’s fate. He travelled to the Soviet Union about fifty times for discussions and research, including an examination of the Vladmir prison records. He, his sister Nina Lagergren (Kofi Annan’s mother-in-law) and their mother never gave up hope of finding Raoul Wallenberg. Many, including Professor von Dardel and his daughters Louise and Marie, do not accept the various versions of Wallenberg’s death and continue to request that the archives in Russia, Sweden and Hungary be opened to impartial researchers.
