Never seen that bit. I was never a fan of his, even before he got canceled
Comment on Somewhere out there is a blooper reel for the movie "Shindler's List"

Are you doing the Louie CK bit?
Where he talks about how somewhere there 100% exists a test reel of dozens of little girls trying out for the “girl in the red dress” part. Dozens of little girls brought or dragged by their parents to a casting call hoping to get their darling into the business. Dozens of little girls saying that line (“goodbye Jews”) emphatically, petulantly, sweetly, angrily, monotone-ly, loudly, softly…

The girl in the red dress was a Jew, right?
Or, did you mean the children actors, in general? I may have misunderstood.

I think I conflated red dress girl with goodbye girl, as Porrada clarified.

It doesn’t rashly matter; all of the roles had to be casted. I wonder what that experience is like for the children. Life is Beautiful, for instance, or Saving Private Ryan (remember the French couple in the bombed out town?). How do you direct a child to emote trauma?

Depends on the director. Can’t remember who it was, but I remember reading about one where to get the children’s fearful reactions, they just actually scared the living shit out of them.

Those are two different roles.
Red dress was a victim, “goodbye girl” was a non-Jewish character celebrating the purge of the Warsaw(?) ghetto.
