Holocaust Video Game

A new Nintendo video game is in the making which promises to teach kids about the Holocaust. According to Cnet, the game, which is entitled Imagination is the Only Escape, lets kids step into the worn shoes of children in Nazi occupied France. The maker of the game promises that there will be no on-screen violence and that game will be an educational tool.

While some people have found the idea "disgusting", others (including the ADL) have been receptive to using new technology to teach about the Holocaust.

Appalling to someone of my generation, but it's probably true that it is a valid way to get at least some information of that time period across to the younger generations. Still feels wrong though :(
