City library — Potsdamer Platz 322/365


I lived here for one year as I was finishing my dissertation back in the days, making a pause to attend the lunch concerts in the Philharmonie across the street. But today I read an article at the NY Times about how many books the Nazis stoled: around 30% of the books in this library were stolen. Incredible! Germany now needs to give back not only thousands of artworks but also millions of books.
