Literary call out to protest Iraq War
Literary call out to protest Iraq War
Electronically typed letter from Peter K. Wehrli to members of the Swiss German Centre, Zurich, 23 March 2003, f. 1. In this letter Wehrli, Board member of the Swiss German Centre, calls upon members to respond to the USA’s invasion of Iraq by writing short literary texts that would then be compiled and sent out to media outlets under the title “Rapid Action”. This decision was taken at a general assembly held by the Centre in reaction to accusations from the Swiss Press that the Centre had become “politically abstinent”. This accusation was disproven by the reaction to this call out when dozens of Swiss German Centre members contributed works for the protest.
