I am not sure if For Me It Was Tuesday is averted. A (war) criminal may well remember the occasion of this or that massacre, but the individual killings committed as part of such a massacre will be without any lasting significance for the criminal. In other words, each individual murder, viewed as a thing "an sich" is just another Tuesday for the bad guy (even if all these Tuesdays fell on the same day, which is probably why it may appear that the trope is averted —- but it is not about the day, it is about the mundaneness of the killing).
Any (small) children scurrying away will be even less important to them, which is why Gersen can approach them without being recognised for a past victim.
I seem to recall that in Demon Princes, one of the five actually says something like the tell-tale line "You would have to be more specific, I killed a lot of people" at some point.
