“In Schöneberg, theatres, cabarets, and clubs catered to homosexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, and Berlin’s liberated sub-culture. The Nazis attempted to eliminate all traces of that sub-culture, but today the district is once again a centre of gay life.”

If it were you returning then you would presumably be seeing it through the same lens (cognitive apparatus / memories) as before. That’s interesting too since our memories change and deteriorate in the same way as history - so many details would have been lost over time. But not the main narrative.

Postcard of the modernist Kosmos Kino in East Berlin, one of the largest cinemas in the GDR. Inaugurated on October 5, 1962 and located on Karl-Marx-Allee, it was used as a premiere cinema until 1989. The building still hosts events and conferences today. #berlin
