Someone like her: Claire Parkes-Bärfuss

Mara Truog

In 1949, she went to London as a domestic worker. Now Claire Parkes-Bärfuss, 99, has returned to Switzerland, to a small village in the Emmental valley. She brings with her almost nothing but her extraordinary story. It's about a woman who gave others the home she was always seeking. And about a little-known chapter of Swiss emigration. Claire Parkes-Bärfuss, Spring 2013, Emmental.
