Title:
Jean Henri Dunant, Swiss Humanitarian
Caption:
Jean Henri Dunant (1828-1910) was a Swiss businessman, social activist and humanitarian. During a business trip in 1859, he was witness to the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in modern day Italy. He recorded his memories and experiences in the book A Memory of Solferino which inspired the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863. The 1864 Geneva Convention was based on Dunant's ideas. In 1901 he received the first Nobel Peace Prize together with Frédéric Passy. He died on October 30, 1910, and his final words were "Where has humanity gone?"
