Personally, I don't like the idea of a video game about the Holocaust because it leaves me with a dark feeling when this is used as a game. I have to accept that younger people spend more time playing video games than reading biographies.
I recently watched a documentary about a Jew who created a video game about the Holocaust.

Hi the game itself was Fortnite or call of duty or something. It wasn't specifically about the Holocaust I would take issue with that outside of educational tools possibly.

I came across this article on speech by children...

He knows the idea it expressed is wrong, but he's put forward that he wasn't endorsing the idea, and wanted to mock the people doing so. Thank you for the link I'll take a look. I suppose "well intentioned poorly executed" is the phrase I'd use? I'm not sure where he learnt it (he isn't either) but I think popular media has a role in this (South Park casualised a lot of this for an earlier generation...). I have no reason to think he's into any of those far right groups, he doesn't even like Andrew Tate.
Edit: I suppose to try to move this to a learning space, are there good resources on how to talk about the Holocaust, for him? I'll start with Night by Elie Wiesel as above.
