Provision of the wounded, sick and refugees during the First World War in Prague with special regard to Galician Jews

(english): This thesis examines war refugees from Galicia in Prague during the First World War and in the immediate post-war period. Based on archival sources of Prague municipal and state provenance, it analyses their registration, housing, social and medical care, and the institutional framework through which this agenda was administered. Particular attention is paid to the differences between the care of Christian and Jewish refugees. The thesis traces the transformation of refugee policy in response to developments on the Eastern Front as well as to the political changes after 1918, showing how initially provisional measures gradually evolved into a complex administrative and supervisory system of refugee relief.
