I'm watching a documentary on the Einsatzgruppen on Netflix.

3. I watched it a few days ago

I’ve watched every documentary that Netflix has about the Holocaust, the Nazis and Hitler. Netflix has been showing a lot of them. They all use old footage, but the documentaries are being done now, with all the information that’s been gathered up to date.

Some of those witnesses were horrified when the mass killings were going on. The people killed in those small towns were their neighbors, their friends, and families they had known for generations. You have to take into account that those killings happened decades before the interviews. What surprised me was the amount of detail they recalled.

I guess it’s true that traumatic incidences are almost always recalled in minute detail. The emotional impact create the sharpest memories.
