Roger Willemsen is still an unknown name in Sweden. For over three decades, he has been the most eloquent German-language author, social debater, program host, beloved radio voice, publicist, journalist, literature professor and knowledgeable music expert. He was also chairman of the Afghan Women's Association. Roger Willemsen was wise without being a know-it-all, prominent without demeaning others. He was a shining sun with a brilliant brain. On February 7, 2016, he died at just 60 years old.
