Crazy credits?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075406/crazycredits/?tab=cz&ref_=tt_dyk_cc "This film is based upon a true incident. Some of the names, occupations and experiences of those involved have been altered to protect the privacy of the survivors and their families." WOW. that is soooooo crazy. Epilogue (part 1 of 3): "Two months after the St Louis docked at Antwerp--World War II began. Aaron Pozner was captured by the Gestapo in Holland and died in Auschwitz. Joseph Manasse was captured by the Gestapo in France and died in Auschwitz. Alice Fienchild survived to rejoin her children in 1946. Lili Rosen was reunited with her husband Carl in England. Mr and Mrs Hauser used Mira's $1300 as bribes and survived the German occupation of Belgian." WOW. that is soooooo crazy. Who's minding the store? These are NOT crazy credits. They are information. Calling them crazy credits is insulting. And, this is hardly the first time I have seen many, many so-called "crazy credits" that were, in fact, not crazy at all.

Crazy Credits is just an expression. It is the name of the category of facts. It was named many many years ago before IMDb became an offical website. (80s? & 90s? on Usenet I believe.) Back when it was just a a bunch of lists being kept and updated by fans of movies. Crazy in this instance means more like unusual. Typically anything listed in the credits, after the credits, or during the credits gets included in the list. Now maybe you could suggest these get moved to Trivia.... BUT its not really trivia. Its Factual(?) info that was presented at the end of the movie. Listing it in Crazy Credits is appropriate. (I have never seen the movie, and don't know if the info was factual or not. I would assume they are, but liberties with fact may have occurred for story telling purposes) Just ignore the name of the category.
