Beate Caspari-Rosen, MD: Happy Birthday







Beate Brigitta Caspari was born in Berlin on March 14, 1910
Beate as a very young child and at age 60
My mother stands in front of the doorway to the building she grew up in at 41 Metzerstrasse, shown as it appeared in 1978. Located in East Berlin, it was not destroyed in WWII, but its facades were damaged. A photograph taken around 2005, shows restoration and also how such buildings have been historically reconstructed in the area.
My father George Rosen annotated the back of the photograph: "Atta, the young beauty".
