Are there any Amish in Switzerland that still practice that faith?

Question

My Amish ancestors migrated from Switzerland through France to USA, I have often wondered is Amish Cult still alive in Switzerland????

Answer 1

From the Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online:

"The question is frequently asked why the Amish in Europe have completely lost their identity as Amish, while they at the same time survived in America as a group with a distinct and separate culture. (All the Amish in Europe have been assimilated into the Mennonite, Protestant, and Catholic religions.) The reason is not hard to see. The Amish Mennonites in Europe never lived in compact settlements. The scarcity of purchasable land prevented them from forming primary community groupings, since families who fled from one place to another rented or purchased property wherever they were given asylum. Each Amish family became a social unit unto itself, and geographic distance made intercourse between Amish families difficult. As family units (as against community in the New World) the Amish were in an unfavorable position to withstand the pressure toward conformity to the general culture and to European governments in their programs of national unification...."

Answer 2

The Amish almost entirely live in the US and Canada. Many Amish are of Swiss-German descent, but that doesn't mean that Amishism (or whatever it's called) is prevalent in those countries. Menonism was what Amishism is descended from - the Amish themselves moved to Pennsylvania. There are some 400 thousand Menonites in Germany - and perhaps some still left in Switzerland, though many emmigrated at the end of the 17th century to Germany.
