	"Alfred Nobel, Bertha Von Suttner, and the Nobel Peace Prize"
		In the baronial palace of the von Suttner family in Vienna, the mother sits reading her newspaper but worrying about her youngest son, the handsome and popular Arthur, who should marry wealth and repair the family fortunes, but who has fallen in love with Bertha von Kinsky, the governess of her four daughters.
		Bertha is a countess, to be sure, and her father, who died before she was born, was a field marshal, but it is known that her mother gambled away all the family money, and Bertha is not only impoverished but seven years older than Arthur.
		Bertha von Suttner dies in 1914, just before the war began which she had predicted would take place if the statesmen did not heed what she and her colleagues were urging.

		Bertha’s social criticism, of “people so happy, when they can denounce a class as inferior, as second-rate creatures” to “gain nobility in their own eyes,” and Arthur’s creation of the “Society for Resistance Against Anti-Semitism” were early acts in the Resistance to the Holocaust.
		Bertha, with her untiring dedication to the achievement of Peace, earned the admiration of US presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft, and Czar Nicolas II, as well as the audience of heads of state and citizens worldwide.
		Though Bertha had envisioned A League of Nations, arbitrations and disarmament as necessary fruits of an international peace movement, “Peace Czar” Nicolas II’s cruel suppression of the Boxer Rebellion in 1902 and the outbreak of the Boer War in 1907 were the more immediate consequences of early 20th Century discourse on peace.

		All this was achieved against a background of financial hardship (the Suttner family was debt-ridden, and Bertha's mother had gambled away her own resources) and private difficulties, which she had been brought up to conceal.

		Bertha von Suttner should also be remembered for her belief in the equality of women.
