Examples

• « Fritz Platten finira par quitter définitivement la Suisse en 1923 pour s’installer en Russie, où il connaîtra une fin tragique. Quelques-unes de ses lettres, exposées dans la dernière salle de l’exposition du musée national, témoignent d’un engagement aveugle, alors que l’URSS traverse ses heures les plus sombres. Déporté dans un camp de travail à Lipovo, il continuera jusqu’à la fin à croire à une erreur judiciaire de Staline. Fritz Platten est fusillé le 22 avril 1942. » [1]
