Seems to me that only white men who are tenured and secure in their position could imagine that this will help this situation… But hey… I’m a historian who is tenuously employed, so I must suck at what I do…

it’s a gut punch of a movie, with today’s history in mind, yet there are beautiful, long silences, playful children and the family the story centers on.
To be honest I didn’t feel the need to watch the documentary. They went through her personal archives and found her to be a lying Nazi sack of shit in plain sight for decades.
