“La Croix-Rouge suisse (CRS) n\u2019a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper l\u2019aide aux enfants qu\u2019\u00e0 la fin 1941, \u00e0 l\u2019instigation du gouvernement suisse. (Le Secours aux enfants suisse avait \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 en 1917, avec la naissance de ce que l\u2019on a appel\u00e9 les \u00ab\u00a0trains d\u2019enfants\u00a0\u00bb.) Parce que la CRS \u00e9tait une organisation militaire, il lui fallut modifier ses statuts pour fusionner avec l\u2019aide volontaire aux enfants. Le Cartel suisse de secours aux enfants victimes de la guerre fut cr\u00e9\u00e9 en janvier 1940 \u00e0 partir de dix-sept associations humanitaires. Cette organisation, qui fonctionnait bien, g\u00e9rait en zone libre, dans le sud de la France, dix foyers pour enfants, deux foyers pour nourrissons (\u00ab\u00a0pouponni\u00e8res\u00a0\u00bb) et une maternit\u00e9 \u00e0 Elne, o\u00f9 purent accoucher d\u2019abord les femmes catalanes et espagnoles des camps de prisonniers, puis \u00e9galement les femmes juives. On d\u00e9nombre la naissance \u00e0 Elne de 603 enfants. Le souvenir de l\u2019enseignante Bethli Eidenbenz, qui fonda la maternit\u00e9 d\u2019Elne au cours de l\u2019automne 1939 et la dirigea, y est toujours vivace. Elle a aussi re\u00e7u le titre de Juste parmi les nations.”<\/div>\n

The Swiss Red Cross and the rescue of children: heroes and saviours<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

“By recommendation of the government, the Swiss Red Cross merged with the volunteer organisation Secours aux enfants<\/em> (Children\u2019s Aid Society) at the end of 1941, even though it had been involved in this issue since 1917. Between 1933 and 1939, Mathilde Paravicini, on behalf of the Comit\u00e9 suisse d\u2019aide aux enfants d\u2019\u00e9migr\u00e9s<\/em> (Swiss Emigrant Children\u2019s Assistance Committee), gave approximately 5,000 children of emigrants safe haven in Switzerland. Young Swiss men and women sided with the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War alongside the Comit\u00e9 neutre de secours aux enfants d\u2019Espagne<\/em> (Neutral Assistance Committee for Spanish Children), a popular organisation known as Ayuda suiza.<\/em> During the winter of 1939, they took care of Catalan, Spanish, French, and later Jewish children in southern France. By January 1940, they oversaw, as part of the Cartel suisse de secours aux enfants victimes de la guerre<\/em> (Swiss Aid Association for Child War Victims), ten children\u2019s homes, two infant care centres, and a nursery for mothers and young children. In the 1940s, nurses started setting up temporary health clinics in prison camps, where they took care of children and the elderly. The directors of the Swiss Red Cross, specifically the top officers in Bern, tried to stop young activists from saving Jews. Until the summer of 1944, Switzerland\u2019s official policy did not accept refugees \u201csolely for racial reasons\u201d. The result was the tragic conflicts that occurred in southern France. The Red Cross and Children\u2019s Aid Society failed to fulfill their humanitarian mission. The officers even refused to save 500 Jewish children from deportation to extermination camps. The organisation\u2019s workers, however, stepped in to usher them to safety.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
