Hello,
on 27 January 1945, Auschwitz concetrantion camp was liberated by allied forces today, this date also marks the Holocaust Memorial Day. An opportunity to keep remembering the atrocities that happened, in order to not repeat them ever again.
Thank you for playing Attentat 1942 and doing just that. We always wanted to make a difference and seeing people play the game so long after the release is very moving. Thanks to you, we hope to add at least a bit of our own effort to remembering the horrors of the Holocaust.
As a reminder, we put this little snippet of Jakub Hein (who helped your in-game grandfather in Auschwitz) together:
