# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Alfred Hermann Fried was born in Vienna on 11 November 1864 into a Jewish family, and built a career as a publicist and journalist with an obsessive focus: the belief that international structures could make war obsolete. He co-founded the German peace movement and spent years writing, organizing, and advocating for legal frameworks to replace armed conflict. A committed Esperantist, he published a textbook and dual-language dictionary for the constructed language in 1903, republished two years later. In 1911 he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Tobias Asser, a Dutch legal scholar. He died in Vienna on 4 May 1921, a decade after the prize and seven years after the war that broke everything he'd worked for.
