Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

There's something very scary about exposing yourself on camera, knowing that you're going to be put on thousands of screens around the world for everyone to judge, but there's also something very thrilling and exciting about it.
