In a little square called the Tauentzienplatz …you have tramlines north and south around the monument. Each quarter was cut into two by footpaths… Our quarter had the Spanish consulate practically next to us. … a bank on the other side. Some friends and our family doctor lived across the road … We had the cinema in another quarter and this side they built the first department store in Breslau (Wroclaw) with an escalator.
