Explained simply
Holocaust narrative games use interactive storytelling to explore the persecution and murder of Jewish people and others by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Nazi forces occupied France in 1940, and Jewish families there faced exclusion, arrest and deportation; the experience of any one family reflects a much wider history.
The game follows a Polish-Jewish family living in occupied France and was created by designer Luc Bernard. It is published by Voices of the Forgotten, a nonprofit organisation. Its subject matter gives the game an educational and historical context alongside its place in the video game industry.
