content: I just learned today that the UK's documentary of the liberation of the German camps was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I'm not shitting you. And the US also did their own, while both collaborated by sharing their footage. The US used Bill Wilder, a golden age producer out of Hollywood. They were in and starting to film within 24 hours of the camps being "liberated". It's all such fucking nonsense that it's hard to believe so many of us were captured by this for so long. I think it is because they start so young, traumatizing children with these pictures of heaps of typhus casualties in trenches. A kid goes from Sesame Street at home to their 3rd grade teacher showing them the most horrific visuals most anybody at the time had ever seen. Trauma programming.
