ah, I don't know why it ended up that small! Thank you for the heads up.

I'm so glad she was able to the funding she needed to make this doc. The grandmothers, as she calls them, deserve to have a voice.

I'm having a difficult time articulating my feelings on a lot lately, so I'll just leave it at this: thank you, so much, for sharing this.

Just started sobbing watching that. It's an incredible thing that they're making this documentary.

I hate how so many people seem to be unaware of this part of history, because it's so often glossed over.

Agreed. I've always been fascinated by the difference in how WWII is taught in Germany versus the U.S. or Japan; there's a comment from a Japanese high school student on the website basically saying "How did this happen and why do they not teach us about this??" that really stood out to me for that reason.
