The inspiring stories of 50 immigrants to Switzerland everyone should know about.This book
explores the diverse accomplishments and strengths of immigrants to Switzerland. One-page
biographies give readers a glimpse into the lives of fifty cliché-breaking immigrants - both
historical and contemporary - who inspire and intrigue. Each biography is completed with a
unique colour illustration by Swiss illustrator Mireille Lachausse. Read about famous Swiss
immigrants in a new way including Albert Einstein Audrey Hepburn and Xherdan Shaqiri but
also meet some lesser known heroes: Naima Serroukh who fights extremism Mehari Afewerki who
opened a restaurant run by people who cannot hear or Tendol Gyalzur who promised the Dalai
Lama she would help rebuild Tibet. These are inspiring activists entrepreneurs entertainers
athletes and other daring and ingenious people who have made important contributions to the
world around them. Many have also endured great sacrifices. One thing is certain: Switzerland
wouldn't be the same without them.
