title = "Wolfgang Borchert in Switzerland",
abstract = "Confined to bed with a debilitating illness from November 1945 onwards, the actor Wolfgang Borchert turned to writing and editing as a source of income. Acknowledging that the medical treatment and drugs he could receive in postwar Germany were inadequate, several of his friends took on the task of arranging medical treatment in Switzerland. This article charts the difficulties faced by Borchert{\textquoteright}s friends in negotiating his journey to, and stay in, Switzerland with the British, French and Swiss authorities, and casts light on Borchert{\textquoteright}s literary activities during the last weeks of his life in Basle",
