The Esperantist Movement's humanitarian activities in the two World Wars and its relationship with the International Red Cross
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2010
Extract
Esperantism as a movement began at the end of the nineteenth century. It advocated the adoption as an international language of the auxiliary language invented by Dr Lazarus Zamenhof, a Pole, in 1887. At first only the dream of a young man appalled by the violence in his native city Bialystok, whose four cultures, four religions and four languages were perpetually at loggerheads, Esperanto became over the years what it now is, the foremost international language ever invented.
