From what very little German I know, it seems as if that old Nazi era board game is freakin’ disgusting. Why even bother posting and image of that trashy and grossly anti-Semitic game board?

Because we aren't fascists who disappear the things we don't like.

Silly objection, historical representations of Jew hatred shouldn't be ignored.

I've noted I consider the Florida incident stupid college stuff, however imo the board game, supported by the culture which created it is worth creating it. Because of what the culture which tolerated it in the 30s, did in the 40s.

Had Monopoly resulted in a peoples revolution against the capitalists, I'd refer to it in the same way.

But Monopoly, wasn't ideology sponsored by government. Shoe could win, battleship could win. Think there was a dog that could win. Long time, don't remember a government token. Nor a Minuteman token. Perhaps we should look at not the game, but what followed. Not suggesting causation, I suspect games are largely a reflection of popular culture. But not to be ignored.
