Thank you for your histories and the images to go with them. I was born in 1942 on Luisenstrasse across from the Charite where my grandfather worked at times, but my mother, grandmother, and I fled the city in 1945, only my grandfather stayed behind to work as doctor. Living abroad most of my life, I never saw any of this and am grateful for all the information you provide. I only wish I had seen this when I wrote my memoir Api's Berlin Diaries. Gabrielle
I’m glad you enjoy those stories. And fully understand your wish to have seen all of those places. I’m in a similar position, though: many of the locations vanished long long before I moved to Berlin. I still saw some of the ruins but even those are gone by now.
