As Prague reels from the events that transpired on Thursday, it is difficult for most people who were there to put their experience into words. However, David Vichnar, assistant professor in the Department of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures at Charles University, who was in the building at the time of the attack, agreed to speak about what happened despite still being in the middle of processing it all. I spoke to him outside Prague’s Karolinum, Charles University’s main building, just before a memorial service for the victims was due to take place.
