During the First World War, Zurich rapidly became the natural meeting-point for all those who wished to escape from their own conflict-ridden homelands. Its neutrality was enhanced by its position at the centre of Europe – in both geographical and cultural terms. The actor Alexander Moissi, the writers James Joyce, Franz Werfel and René Schickele, the composers Eugen d’Albert, Philipp Jarnach and Ferruccio Busoni, the soon-to-be Dadaists Hans Arp, Tristan Tzara and Hans Richter and many others all found their way to Zurich.
