A Czech company has stopped selling tickets to its Auschwitz-themed “#escape_room” after facing fierce criticism for casting as a game the experience of Holocaust victims in one of World War II’s most notorious concentration camps.
In a statement posted Friday to the Prague-based Dostaň Se Ven’s website, the company said it originally designed the game to draw attention to the atrocities of Auschwitz. But it acknowledged that the backlash is “understandable” — and said it would stop selling tickets immediately.
