"It happened and therefore it can happen again: that is the essence of what we have to say. It can happen, anywhere."

Primo Levi

The Foundation

In her will, Elsbeth Kasser left the collection to a foundation that was to be established. She specified that the purpose of the foundation was to preserve the Elsbeth Kasser collection in its entirety and to make it accessible to the public through exhibitions. In 1994, two years after her death, the Elsbeth Kasser Foundation was established.


Since its establishment, the foundation has ensured the preservation of the collection and has organized numerous exhibitions with partners. It has entered into contractual agreements with the Archives of Contemporary History at ETH Zurich that guarantee the professional storage of the collection and public access.

Board of Trustees:
Walter Schmid (President), Reinhard Bek, Helena Kanyar-Becker, Karolin Linker, Alain Picard, Gabrielle Rosenstein and Noemi Sibold. The foundation is administratively managed by Sandra Baumeler.
