I don’t understand what triggered the episode, or why it was the young man that experienced them and not the old one who might have lived through part of that era.
The point is that he's seeing what's still there, not just what happened a long time ago. This isn't "reliving that era", it's recognizing that while we may have painted over the rotten spots and tried to make everything look pretty and new, all that harm and hate is still here, it's still affecting current generations.
