Jewish Rabbi: playing Call of Duty World at War allowed me to overcome my nightmares about the Nazis


Brooklyn Rabbi, Micah Kelber, writes about his experiences playing the new Call of Duty title: World at War:

 "As a Jew, being involved in virtually ending World War II allows you to experience the closest thing possible to killing the sense of victimhood created by the Holocaust. And you do it without actually hurting any real people. In fact, it’s so satisfying that when you get to shoot down the golden eagle on the Reichstag, while sniping headshots at flame-throwing Nazis, you simply don’t want the war to end. This is weird, of course, because the war’s end is the ultimate goal of the game, as well as your desperately fought aim in real life."

Kelber claims since playing the game he has been having less nightmares revolving around Nazis, and when he does have them, they're not as scary as they used to.
