On one hand, this feels like it's in very poor taste. On the other hand, holocaust education is abysmal, at least in the US, so this might be a good thing.
I'm trying to think of a reason having this museum would be in bad taste and I'm struggling with it. My knee jerk reaction tells me having this in Fortnite is a no no, but I cannot for the life of me say why. Given that that's the case, I guess I'm on the more awareness is good side of things.
Maybe because the objective of the game is essentially murder someone and dance on their corpse?
It's Fortnite, it's press X to pay respects tier solemnity for one of the greatest atrocities ever committed. A game where you do le funni meme dance on the corpse you shot in the face before Baja blasting off as an anime character isn't the best fit for remembering millions of lives destroyed by animalistic, barbaric evil.
There's not a single child in this world who plays fortnite and sees a Holocaust museum map and takes it seriously.
