Maurice Bavaud
Maurice Bavaud was a Swiss national born in 1916, who infamously attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1938. His motivations were deeply rooted in his concerns for the Catholic faith and the looming threat of Nazism. After being arrested, he was executed by the Nazis in 1941. Despite his daring act of resistance, Bavaud has remained largely overlooked in Swiss cultural memory, with recent efforts to honor his legacy, including a commemorative plaque unveiled in Neuchâtel.
