Summary
Catharina Sturzenegger: Serbia in the European War 1914-1915
Based on letters, documents, personal experiences and more than 100 original recordings
Only with the First World War did Serbia and the Serbian people find themselves in the focus of Switzerland's interests. At that time, many Swiss came to the aid of the Serbian people, following the example of the famous Archibald Reiss, who gained exceptional merit for the Serbian people with his comprehensive and extensive work from the First World War onwards. Catharina Sturzenegger was among many, above all health workers, hospital staff and hospital nurses. About her stay in Serbia, about her impressions, which she gained while staying there, guided by the desire to help the Serbian people, she published several books in German with many extraordinary recordings that have exceptional cultural value. This writing of Catharine Sturzenegger, which until now, like her other writings, was unavailable in our country, is a striking testimony to a humane engagement in a difficult time when Serbia was threatened with total ruin. At the same time, he testifies to Catharine Sturzenegger's love and unshakable faith in the strength of the Serbian people.
