EPIC FAIL: Auschwitz Concentration Camp Video Game
An Israeli modder has turned a 1992 first-person shooter into a bloody tale of revenge in a Nazi concentration camp with Sonderkommando Revolt, which puts players in the role of an Auschwitz death camp prisoner on a killing rampage.
Sonderkommando Revolt is based on the real-world uprising at Auschwitz in October 1944 – with some obvious liberties – and built on the foundation of classic shooter Wolfenstein 3D. The actual event in Auschwitz resulted in the deaths of just three German Schutzstaffel soldiers and the murder of 451 Sonderkommandos, a “special unit” of primarily Jewish concentration camp workers who aided in the killing process during the Holocaust.
