SYLVANIA – The Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo is asking that those playing Polemon Go refrain from playing at the center’s Holocaust memorial.
“Doing so disrespects the memory of Holocaust victims, survivors, and family members. Our memorial is a sacred place for solemn reflection, not for gaming,” it said in a statement.
The federation has requested that Niantic, the creator of Pokémon Go, remove the memorial as a place of interest from the game.
The federation did say it “welcomes all budding Pokémon trainers to play Pokémon Go on its campus and at the YMCA/JCC. ”
