nooo don't remove it.. let these games come out so we know what the world was back than and still is now.. you have pc games these days that are of world war 1,2 they haven't been moved and should not be removed. there will be an arms race to buy this game before they stop it.

Saying Secret Hitler is about the holocaust is like saying Operation is about black market organ theft. It's a game about the system that let a monster like Hitler rise to power. Everyone should play it, especially with how complacent the world is about far right populism today.

A board game based on the atrocities of The Clone Wars, sold in major Australian retailers has left the master and apprentice of Order 66 survivors horrified. (Secret Palpatine is literally this but star wars)

What? It's set before the Holocaust and WW2. It's not based on WW2.

Seems as if it's part of the Educational Game genre, a way to introduce children into the history of 1930s German history. This is a good thing—awareness and education. It's not promoting genocide, nothing like Netanyahu in Palestine. Next game should be set in the West Bank.

Where do I get this?

Jewish communities are screaming at awareness-raising games but are silent when real Nazi countries like China are rising!

I would be more interested in who is buying it and why? Guess ppl want to learn from the past and teach their kids...best case scenario.

and?

Don’t like it don’t buy it?

Facts about the game: Its incredibly easy to access online. Its about Pre-Holocaust Germany. It certainly doesn't promote Hitler.

I know a couple of god bothering priests that could use this game for their respective flocks 😂

The game has been around for like 2 years, why is it only now they go up in arms about it?

Why aren’t the retailers named?

'All families are intact': Eight children's books shaking up the nuclear familyIn Australian picture books, family representation has been overwhelmingly traditional; not just intact, but specifically white, middle class, with a mum, dad, and a (frequently blonde) male child protagonist. These books are the antidote. This propaganda is founded on bullshit that defies evolutionary psychology, mind you a lot of what modernity deems as appropriate does. How many millions of years during the development of human intelligence, culture and language were we in small extended family groups? More of TheirABC SafeSchools Marxist agenda to destroy the traditional family unit. Everyone I know that came from a broken home is irreparably damaged from it. Your conflating validity with ideals. To argue it's discriminatory is too stupid for words.

And name and shame innocent people too.

Sex offenders more likely to be 'named and shamed' in legal shake-upSexual assault victims would have more power to 'name and shame' their abusers under a legal shake-up designed to lift a veil of secrecy that has helped to shield some of Victoria’s worst sex offenders. The main issue is that many victims of these monsters are too frightened to come forward, offenders threaten them with violence. And what happens if a man is falsely accused ? The government need to be very careful about these new laws. So the police and law enforcement bodies already have this information. Abhorrent as the crimes are the courts and legal systems are entrusted with punishment that is commensurate with societal expectations. Won’t public disclosure encourage vigilantes and violent crimes?
