: Parents shocked after scout camp features Nazis chasing Jews
: Thu Jan 23, 1:48 PM ET
:
: COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Parents of more than 100 Danish scouts were outraged over a game of tag at a scout camp in which children acted as Jews wearing yellow Stars of David and tried to escape from adults pretending to be Nazis.
:
: The group of about 160 scouts, aged 11-14, included a dozen teenagers from the Danish-speaking minority in northern Germany. The school yard was turned into a concentration camp with swastikas on the windows.
:
: "I was shocked," Johanna Christiansen, a German woman, told the Ekstra Bladet newspaper on Thursday.
:
: "It's wrong to expose children to this," said Christiansen, whose two daughters took part.
:
: The local branch of the Danish Christian FDF scout organization organized the game last weekend at the Kongeaadal school, 260 kilometers (160 miles) southwest of Copenhagen.
:
: Jes Imer of the local FDF chapter told the tabloid B.T. that they "may have crossed the line this time with a night game where Nazis chase Jews."
:
: The school yard included a sign with the German words "Arbeit macht frei," or "Work will set you free," the infamous inscription over the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.
:
: "I don't know whether I should apologize," Imer told B.T., adding "I didn't want the game to hurt anyone."
:
: None of those involved could be reached for further comment.
