LEGO Indiana Jones Videogame Will Be Nazi-Free

February 8, 2008 8:48am

As an American father living in Germany with a German-American 8-year-old son, I'm very happy that LEGO is keeping the Nazi symbols off the Indiana Jones line. After seeing the toys on the LEGO website, he got interested in the movies, and we watched them together.

After watching Last Crusade, the next day he was drawing villians with swastika flags. We had to explain that while the movie was fantasy, the symbols were real and that he shouldn't be drawing them.

He's going to have to come to terms with German history soon enough without having swastikas on his favorite toys and games.

No friends yet.
