Joan McGuire Mohr, a former awardee of the Kukucka Slovak Scholarship, received her PhD in history from the University of Pittsburgh. She will talk about the oral histories, public documents, personal letters, and photographs from a variety of individuals and collections which she assembled and pieced together to revive the story of the Slovak and Czech soldiers who abandoned the Hapsburg Army, organized military units in Russia and fought against the Bolsheviks during the 1917 revolutions.
