Neu im Archiv: Pflegekinder-Aktion Schweiz

Die Schweizerische Pflegekinder-Aktion entstand nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Auslöser waren mehrere Skandale um die Misshandlung von Verdingkindern. Anfangs 1946 zeigte der Schriftsteller und Journalist C.A. Loosli in einer Artikelserie für den "Tagesanzeiger" anhand mehrerer Einzelschicksale die Missstände in der Kinder- und Jugendfürsorge auf. Kurz darauf startete die Zeitschrift "Beobachter" eine Leseraktion: Gemeinsam mit Pro Juventute und interessierten Leserinnen und Lesern wollte der "Beobachter" dafür sorgen, dass die Rechte von Pflegekindern besser geschützt werden.
