This book pays tribute to the Swiss people's remarkable solidarity with Armenians during their darkest times. It offers a thorough overview of Armenian history and the events leading to the atrocities committed against them. The author explores how the Swiss took a stand alongside their Armenian brothers and sisters in faith, highlighting the stark contrast between the Ottoman Empire's brutal policies and the selflessness of Swiss aid workers. These individuals, including doctors, nurses, and educators, provided crucial support to the Armenian people in dire circumstances. Notable figures include Sister Beatrice Rohner (1876–1947) from Basel, who suffered a mental breakdown after witnessing the horrors as a teacher and orphanage director, and Jakob Künzler (1871–1949) from Walzenhausen. Künzler's humanitarian efforts inspired Swiss vice-consul Carl Lutz in his own heroic actions to save Jews in Budapest in 1944. The author gives voice to these Swiss "witnesses for humanity" while maintaining scholarly rigor, supported by extensive footnotes and references. This comprehensive work draws on previously unseen materials from Swiss archives, significantly enriching the subject matter.
