> Do we just “remake” them? How does that work for books?
We leave them alone.
And we read for the kids watch movies with them and don't let them access the full library unsupervised.
We never know what triggers kids. I had nightmares about the toy pirate handgun that the other boy at my age had, that and vw mini buses.
I never had nightmares about some rather nasty things I read (described below trigger warning), but I did have nightmares about a toy gun..!
My point is: we have to face reality at some point. And we have to let children think about it and play with it, even if some of them gets scared of guns or even like me, toy guns.
The rest qualify for a trigger warning, stop here if you don't want to read graphic descriptions of what I read as a kid.

We had free access to the complete local village library (which was located at the school) almost from we started at school and as a nerdy kid I had read a lot about WW2 way before I became a teenager, much of it old books with first hand accounts of what people saw and experienced, mutilated bodies, literal revenge decimations of locals when Germans couldn't find who had sabotaged them, torture and more.

But for some reason that never haunted me.
