Ohne Idealismus würde die Welt stillstehen!

Without idealism, the world would stand still! Henry Dunant (1828 - 1910)With Henry Dunant, the initiator of the Red Cross, we encounter a person who never lost his humanitarian idealism despite a challenging fate. In the lecture, we follow his biography, accompany him on his triumphant rise, indulge in his brief period of fame, before he is overtaken by his business failures and becomes a persona non grata at the Red Cross! After many years of extreme poverty, he is only rehabilitated at the end of his life and receives the Nobel Peace Prize! Reto Bonifazi, art historian & Germanist
