Hitler – The Drinking Game, involves students downing drinks on the turn of cards laid out in the shape of a Swastika.
Players are required to make Nazi salutes and "interrogate" other players.
There is also a section called The Holocaust where players have to "down in one" a pint glass filled with spirits.
The game has its own Facebook group created by Huddersfield University students Nicholas Rowley and Anthony Pike.
Facebook group has 12,000 members
In the group both describe themselves as "Fuhrers".
The group currently has 12,000 members.
Those who submit pictures of themselves playing the game are promoted to Nazi "officers".
Students have also posted pictures of themselves with moustaches in the style of Adolf Hitler.
For young people in the West to be doing this... well, er um... it shows how poorly educated they are about REAL history and how thoroughly postmodern they've become that they can make light of so horrible a person and event.
IT'S SICKENING. I CAN'T IMAGINE CHINESE OR KOREAN KIDS MAKING LIGHT OF THE RAPE OF NANKING OR AFRICAN KINDS MAKING LIGHT OF RWANDA, OR THAI KIDS MAKING LIGHT OF POL POT.
Collect names and pictures from the damn Facebook, someday these can be used.
ReplyDeleteDoes this game endorse the Nazis or Hitler? Is it intended to mock the Holocaust? Or is it a joke? A sick joke, perhaps, but still a joke. A sense of perspective is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeletetrust me, from someone who is good friends with the guys that created. the game was nothing more than a joke. Fair enough it might be considered by some to be in bad taste but the students concerned never intended to offend anyone and have apologised for any offence caused.
ReplyDeleteThe creators and in my experience anyone who's ever played this game, is not in the slightest bit racist, nor do they condone the national socialist party or any of its actions. This whole story is a prime example of narrow minded sensationalist journalism, and many or using it as an opportunity to vent prejudiced frustration towards students in general
