calm before the storm
27 March 2021
Traveltalks goes to Czechoslovakia. This is released just months before the Nazi invasion and abandonment by the West. It is literally the calm before the storm as WWII looms over the horizon. It is Prague at peace. One does wonder if any of these people suspect their impending doom. Do the soldiers on parade know? The Hebrew letters on the clock are poignant and sadly foreboding. Did they deliberately include more Jewish content? This episode is dripping with foreshadowing of the unseen threat. There is a lot of suggesting in this episode. It's a compelling time capsule of a historically important moment and place.
