When we emigrated on 25 September 1958, I was eleven and a half years old. That's a day I'll never forget; when a great long removals lorry carries everything you own over the Grimsel pass, it's an experience you never forget. You think at that moment: if something happens now, we'll be left with nothing.

Annelis L.-I., born 1947, from Brig in Wallis, Switzerland
