Someone Allegedly Found A Poisonous Gas Pokemon In The Holocaust Museum

Sawicki said playing the game at the museum was “disrespectful to the memory of the victims of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp on many levels and it is absolutely inappropriate”.

Hollinger said the museum is usually pro-technology, urging visitors to share their experiences on social media, but they worry this game has gone too far.

Game developers Niantic Labs have not yet said whether they will respond to requests to remove Pokemon from sensitive and unwanted locations.

If it wasn’t bad enough that people were playing Pokemon Go at Holocaust museums, the gaming craze has now required a prohibition by the most infamous death camp of Nazi Germany.

In “Pokemon Go”, the Pokemons need to be hunted through the smartphone’s Global Positioning System location using augmented reality, as per CBC News. Pokemon are making appearances in all sorts of odd places, from people’s places of employment to churches, police stations and even museums.

A woman points her smart phone at the Brandenburg Gate as she plays the Pokemon Go mobile game in Berlin on July 13, 2016. “For instance, at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial – a place that is created to be a site of solemn reflection – probably not the best place to go chasing after a Pokémon”.

Officials for the museum are believed to be seeking to get it removed from the game.

It has been reported that multiple parts of the museum are being used as three “PokeStops”.

Within a couple of days of the launch on the App Store and Google Play Store, Pokemon Go shot to the top of the app summit at a canter.

The creature could be seen floating near a sign for the museum’s Helena Rubinstein Auditorium, which exhibits the testimonials of Jews who survived the gas chambers, said The Washington Post.
