Auschwitz memorial says playing ‘Pokemon Go’ not allowed

“She saw that I had caught a Pokemon while at my ex’s house”, Scribner told the Post.

“People are getting out of their house”, player, Ian Noga said.

“You hear the word “Auschwitz” next to the word “game” it’s a problem”, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper.

Then again, maybe history does have something to teach us: Reality isn’t meant to be easy and augmented and adorned with friendly cartoon creatures. It has players exploring their real-life neighborhoods to capture Pokemon creatures. “I was trying to get a Pokemon from a natural water resource”, said Shayla Wiggins.

It’s admirable that these locations have chosen to restrict admission to these brainwashed gamers and they made the right decision.

It is a game sending players out and about battling “pocket monsters”.

“We just hope it’s a fun time to connect with the community”, Rogers said. However, the whole thing might be a hoax, because that particular Pokemon was not found nearby.

“The cemetery is sacred and hallowed ground”.

As the players of “Pokemon Go” have to look for the characters of the game on the outside world, some places become instantly a PokeStop.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland says it is not allowing people to play “Pokemon Go” on their smartphones during visits to the former Nazi German death camp because it is “disrespectful on many levels”.

“Playing the game is not appropriate in the museum, which is a memorial to the victims of Nazism”, Andrew Hollinger, the museum’s communications director, told the Washington Post. Reports have indicated that the Washington museum is not the only anti-Pokemon location around, as the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia is also warding off players that wander to the premises in search of elusive Pokemon.

“We even sold a couple of student memberships because of the Pokemon Go game”, Renfrew said.

Not so for Washington’s Holocaust Museum, which has also asked people to be respectful and refrain from gameplay there. That includes historical markers, public art installations, museums, monuments – and apparently churches. However Samara Hutman, executive director at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, stated the removal procedure appears to be speedy.
