Hello, delicious friends and welcome to Who Did What Now, the History Podcast, that's not your history class,

with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet and Reader of Books.

So remember last week when I was saying about the different

ways that people perceive me, like if they've seen me for the first time doing this Nazi

concentration camp series, or if they've known me for a long time or watched me for a long time.

And the people who have seen me for the first time were like, you're so animated and perky and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And anyone who have seen me for the first time are like you're so animated and perky and blah blah blah blah blah

and anyone who's watched me for any length of time or anyone who knows me personally is like girl

are you okay because like we can see that this is really taken out on you we see how withdrawn well yeah um how

like like muted you are, how lower your

tone is, like how this is affecting you.

Like, to the point, my own mother phoned me because she was genuinely concerned for my

mental well-being.

Like, she was worried that this whole Nazi concentration camp series was taking a toll on my mental health.

Now here's the thing. There's no way to look at this information. There's no way to go through it and

to write it out and research it and look at, you know, the photographic evidence and listen to the

survivor testimonies,

there is no way to go through all of that and not be affected.

It's, there's no way. You have to be, like, devoid of emotion and empathy.

And because I studied this for six, no, seven-ish years, I have actively avoided going deep into it because I know how bad it is.

But there are so many people out there who don't know, like, most parts of this.

Like, I mean, it's a huge, huge topic.

It's very deep.
