Book Synopsis The Red Cross Letters by : Verity Laughton
Download or read book The Red Cross Letters written by Verity Laughton and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This play draws from the 8,000 packets of correspondence between the South Australian Red Cross Information Bureau, and the bereaved relatives of soldiers lost, killed, or wounded during World War 1 (1914-18).The play starts with a series of individual stories in rough chronological order. The first is a death at Gallipoli and those that follow range from a light horseman (who drowned in camp in Egypt before he ever got to the Front) to a sapper on the Western Front. The soldiers are married, single, brothers, brothers-in- law, as well as sons. This is followed by a middle section based around a few days in October 1917, at Passchendaele in West Flanders, which includes, for example, three brothers from the same family all killed and a fourth brother wounded, and an Aboriginal volunteer, aged 19, who died in a German prisoner of war camp. This middle section treats these stories as a fluid interweave of items of information that echo and magnify each other. The last section is an individual story of the one survivor amongst the 'letters', a Salvation Army boy who did return to his family in South Australia, but very changed. The Red Cross Letters can be played as presented here with a multi-character cast of four, plus a musician, or it could be presented using a full cast of actors with each actor covering his or her individual role. In a classroom situation it offers an opportunity for modern students to learn about a key period of Australia's recent past.

Book Synopsis Humanitarians at War by : Gerald Steinacher
Download or read book Humanitarians at War written by Gerald Steinacher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the brink of dissolution in 1945 to the triumph of the Geneva Conventions in 1949, via the Nuremberg Trials, runaway Nazis, and furious battles with communist critics on the eve of the Cold War, this is the intriguing and remarkable story of the International Red Cross - and how it survived its ambiguous relationship with the Nazis during the Second World War. The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is one of the world's oldest, most prominent, and revered aid organizations. But at the end of World War II things could not have looked more different. Under fire for its failure to speak out against the Holocaust or to extend substantial assistance to Jews trapped in Nazi camps across Europe, the ICRC desperately needed to salvage its reputation in order to remain relevant in the post-war world. Indeed, the whole future of Switzerland's humanitarian flagship looked to hang in the balance at this time. Torn between defending Swiss neutrality and battling Communist critics in the early Cold War, the Red Cross leadership in Geneva emerged from the world war with a new commitment to protecting civilians caught in the crossfire of conflict. But they did so while defending former Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials and issuing travel papers to many of Hitler's former henchmen. These actions did little to silence the ICRC's critics, who unfavourably compared the 'shabby' neutrality of the Swiss with the 'good' neutrality of the Swedes, their eager rivals for leadership in international humanitarian initiatives. In spite of all this, by the end of the decade, the ICRC had emerged triumphant from its moment of existential crisis, navigating the new global order to reaffirm its leadership in world humanitarian affairs against the challenge of the Swedes, and playing a formative role in rewriting the rules of war in the Geneva Conventions of 1949. This uncompromising new history tells the remarkable and intriguing story of how the ICRC achieved this - successfully escaping the shadow of its ambiguous wartime record to forge a new role and a new identity in the post-1945 world.
