Tantrums, rancid meatloaf and family silver stuffed into underpants: the delicate art of the Holocaust comedy

I'm not sure I love this trend of using comedy to tackle serious Holocaust stories. It feels like we're losing some of the weight and gravity of what actually happened 😔. My grandpa used to tell us stories about his own parents who survived the war, but they were always so somber and respectful... I think it's cool that Kieran Culkin's family is using humor to keep their grandmother's memory alive though 💕. But at the same time, don't we want to make sure these stories are still being told with the respect and dignity they deserve? 🤔
 
I don't know if I love this trend or not... it feels like the Holocaust is being reduced to a funny anecdote every time there's a new film about it 🤔. Like, yeah, we get it, your grandma told a sick burn about your dad and you're sharing it with the world now 😂. But seriously, can't these stories be handled without the comedic spin? It feels like the emotional weight of the Holocaust is being watered down. And what's next? "The Shoah: A Sitcom"? 🙄 I mean, I know the goal is to make history more relatable and accessible, but come on, some things are just too heavy for a joke... 💔
 
the fact that some people are using comedy as a way to process the trauma of their families' experiences during the Holocaust is kinda concerning lol 😅. it feels like they're trivializing these serious events or making light of them for the sake of a good laugh. dont get me wrong, i can appreciate a good joke, but when it comes to somethin this heavy, it just feels insensitive 🤕.
