As Ferencz told me during an interview for my book The Nazi Hunters, he still vividly recalls the protestations of Otto Ohlendorf, one of those condemned to death, that he was only doing his duty.

At age 27, Benjamin Ferencz was the chief prosecutor in the Nuremberg trial of the commanders of the Einsatzgruppen, the special squads that conducted mass killings of Jews, Gypsies and other civilian “enemies” on the Eastern Front before the killings shifted to the gas chambers in the camps. Right from the beginning, most Nazi war criminals never apologized for anything.

And for providing the also rapidly dwindling number of Holocaust survivors the chance to face their tormenters. They offer a last chance for confronting not just the legal but the moral issues that the perpetrators have so consistently tried to dodge in the past. For the Nazi hunters - the government investigators and prosecutors along with the freelance operatives who have tracked and exposed the perpetrators - this magnifies the role of these remaining court cases. They matter particularly because there are only a dwindling number of Nazi war criminals still alive.

Nonetheless, this does not diminish the significance of Hanning’s remarks. To say this is a case of too little too late is a vast understatement. But it is almost unprecedented for those who have been charged with carrying out the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes since the end of World War Two. In today’s world, that hardly sounds like a startling admission. Hanning declared he was “sincerely sorry” and “ashamed” that he had belonged to a criminal organization that committed mass murder and countless atrocities, and that he had never done anything to prevent such actions. He's distracting himself with nostalgia, and at the same time, players experience that nostalgia first-hand by reliving HoF1 encounters in a new context.Defendant Reinhold Hanning, a 94-year-old former guard at Auschwitz death camp, sits in a courtroom before the continuation of his trial in Detmold, Germany, April 28, 2016. R&M have taken a clever tack in position the game post-dealer, during a period where the original HoF protagonist, Kallas, is making people run through a gauntlet of his own past experiences. Once you take out the risk of spontaneous elephants, it's a pretty dull game.) (I imagine that anyone attempting to make a non-magical version of Jumanji runs into a similar problem. The Game of Life and Death suffers from serious asymmetrical design. But once you remove the ability to make encounters based on the player's past experiences through sorcerous means, he doesn't reeeally do all that much while you play. You'd think he'd be easy, right? He's a GM. The Dealer is one of those things that makes HoF a unique videogame experience, but conversely, he's one of the hardest things to adapt to the tabletop.
