Bertha von Suttner - Rebellischer Friedensengel

In the organizer's words:

Rebellious angel of peace - Bertha von Suttner

A monologue

Who was this woman who campaigned for peace as an ambassador?

Bertha von Suttner, (1843 - 1914) born Countess Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau, was a woman far ahead of her time. Instead of indulging in immeasurable wealth as a countess, the pretty young woman developed into a pioneer of pacifism. She became a passionate writer and a tireless activist for world peace. Her life story is a fascinating testimony to how a single person can change the world through courage and determination.

Her novel "Lay Down Your Arms!" left a lasting impression. In her own language, which bluntly denounced the horrors of war, she described the appalling fates of war. She became a symbol of the peace movement and contributed to her becoming the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905. Her work and her commitment inspired many people and showed that literature can be a powerful force for social change s life of this multifaceted woman, this monologue shows the more or less unknown sides of the Nobel Prize winner "Bertha von Suttner". An intimate insight into her life and her encounters with people who shaped her life pay tribute not only to her activities in the peace movement, but also to her fight against anti-Semitism, her struggle for emancipation and, above all, her processing of happiness and suffering in the interpersonal sphere.

"Fight back, unite! Don't always let us few women do everything that nobody listens to" are still valid calls to action today. Her thoughts remind us that every individual has the power to bring about change and fight for a fairer and more peaceful world.
