aita if i think this just wasn't that deep...
sorry, the fight against holocaust (and genocide in general) misinformation and disinformation is important but I don't think this story holds harmful weight or power like other instances of holocaust history rewriting (e.g the boy in the striped pyjamas) she was never claiming to represent all holocaust survivors or the average experience of the holocaust. also god forbid kids in traumatising times do weird and irrational shit.
not really even defending her just like... worse things have happened, especially in the 1940s 🤷♂️ cannot bring myself to give too much of a gaf
also this whole documentary had a weird tone
