I'm going to let one sliver of hope in humanity in and choose to believe that she's a descendant of Auswitz survivors and that this is her way of affirming that her family survived, thrived and looks good doing it, as a final fuck you to the Nazis. Like the smirk and the pose is her saying "this is how hard you failed fuckos".
That's what I'd like to believe. Or part of a group they were trying to eradicate. "You're gone, we're still here."
That's a nice headcanon
I... don't know, man. That reeks of "Baby survives plane crash - everyone celebrates. (but FUCK the other 299 who died a horrible death, amirite?)"
You're right that baby should feel endless guilt and never celebrate surviving that plane crash. They should lie awake every night, thinking of how "it should have been me". They should spend their days with the weight of 299 destroyed families forever on their head because they survived.
Focus only on death and tragedy, never on life and miraculous survival. Interesting take.
More appropriately
Baby survives terrorist bombing of a plane, everyone should celebrate. Its survival is not only the victory against great odds but also a victory against human indecency and atrocity.
It is IMO victory of the rest 299 too who couldnt survive.
