Epic Games, the developer behind the popular video game Fortnite, has given the green light for the creation of the first Holocaust Museum within the game. This decision was announced by game developer Luc Bernard, who tweeted<\/a>, “Super proud that we will be the first to bring something like this to Fortnite’s 400 million+ players. 80% of Americans haven’t visited a Museum. So this is game changing.”<\/p>\n

The concept of the Holocaust Museum in Fortnite comes after Bernard’s previous project, Light in the Darkness<\/a>, a free game that focused on the experiences of a Jewish family persecuted by the Nazis during World War II. Bernard expressed his belief that many games tend to overlook the horrors of the Holocaust, telling Agence France-Presse<\/a> earlier this year that many games portray these realities of that war as being “a bit like denying that it ever existed.” Through Light in the Darkness, he aimed to portray the grim fate faced by European Jews as the Nazis systematically eradicated them, resulting in the death of about 66% of European Jews during the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
