About

Automatically translated from German

Historian Dr. Jonathan Pärli from the University of Basel leads this tour examining Switzerland's complex relationship with migration and asylum. The tour traces how Swiss mercenaries were once respected across Europe, explores how Switzerland became a destination for asylum seekers, and addresses the rejection of Jewish refugees during the Second World War. It also considers the experiences of post-war migrant workers. Held at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich.
