Not an autobiography in the customary sense, Walter Benjamin's Berlin Childhood around 1900 is a recollection of his childhood in an upper-middle-class Jewish home in Berlin's West End at the turn of the century. In this diagram of his life, Benjamin focuses not on persons or events but on places and things, seen from the perspective of a child.
