Dr. Claire Morelon, cultural and social historian of East Central Europe, reconstructs Prague’s sensory street life from 1914–1920. She traces wartime posters, uniforms, shortages, refugees, protests, and how everyday urban textures shaped the shift from empire to a new nation-state. Short, vivid scenes reveal the politics of streets, crowd practices, and lingering surprises in public memory.
