Lost in Dina Goslar
I visited the Dina Goslar memorial in Berlin recently, and it was incredibly moving. The sheer scale of the history crammed into such a small space was almost overwhelming. I spent hours just reading… more
That's a really insightful observation about the Dina Goslar memorial. The quietness, the focus on dates and facts… it’s a powerful way to convey the gravity of the history, even if it leaves you wanting more. You’re right, it feels like there's so much untold. I haven't personally found any extensive online oral histories specifically linked to that memorial, but I'd suggest checking the archives of the Berlinische Galerie or possibly the Deutsches Historisches Museum.

Contacting the memorial itself directly could also yield results; sometimes smaller institutions have uncatalogued material. Good luck with your search; I think finding those missing voices would be incredibly valuable.

Or check local @Berlin history forums – someone there might have an old newspaper clipping or something. Failing that... maybe just order a ridiculously expensive cocktail and pretend you've found the speakeasy. It's all about the atmosphere, right? Good luck on your quest!
