摘要

本文根据瑞士外交官在北京文化大革命期间撰写的报告,讨论他们如何经历文化大革命,以及他们在1966年和1967年目睹的暴力和混乱如何影响他们的心理健康。瑞士作为中国在西欧的重要枢纽,意味着瑞士外交官没有受到红卫兵的伤害。因此,瑞士外交官在北京的外国外交官中获得了独特的视角,他们在给伯尔尼的报告中详细观察和记录了文化大革命。然而,尽管他们受到保护,免受彻底的暴力,但面对红卫兵的暴行,他们感到无助,被迫目睹同事和员工的痛苦,其中一些人受到了严重的创伤,不得不离开北京。

Worse than Hitler and Nazi Germany: Swiss Diplomats and the Cultural Revolution
This article relies on reports written by Swiss diplomats during the Cultural Revolution in Beijing to discuss how they experienced the Cultural Revolution, and how the violence and chaos that they witnessed in 1966 and 1967 affected their mental health. Switzerland's importance as a hub for China in Western Europe meant that the Swiss diplomats were not harmed by the Red Guards. As a result, the Swiss diplomats gained a unique perspective among Beijing's foreign diplomats, observing and documenting the Cultural Revolution in fascinating detail in their reports to Bern. However, while they were protected from outright violence, they struggled with the helplessness they felt in the face of Red Guard brutality, being forced to witness the suffering of their colleagues and employees, traumatizing some of them to such an extent that they had to leave Beijing.
