IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 15, 1991
Mr. MCGRATH submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Federal Republic of Germany
and the Republic of Austria should take all applicable steps to halt the
distribution of neo-Nazi computer games and prosecute anyone found in
possession of these materials to the full extent of the law.
Whereas neo-Nazi video games have emerged in the Federal Republic of Germany
and the Republic of Austria, targeting Jewish people and Turks as the objects
of hatred;
Whereas the game, `KZ Manager' puts the player in the role of a Nazi
concentration camp manager earning points for gassing prisoners and selling
gold fillings;
Whereas this game features graphics of Hitler, swastikas and tortured
prisoners;
Whereas another game titled `Aryan Test,' designates Auschwitz, Treblinka,
and Maidanek as `glorious' places in the history of the German empire;
Whereas the scope of anti-Semitism and neo-Nazi activities throughout the
globe has reached repulsive proportions;
Whereas the production, possession, and distribution of anti-Semitic material
is prohibited and punishable under German and Austrian criminal law;
  Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it
  is the sense of the Congress that this degree of anti-Semitism and hatred
  is so profound that the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of
  Austria should take all applicable steps to halt the distribution of `KZ
  Manager,' `Aryan Test' and other similar video games and prosecute anyone
  found in possession of these materials to the full extent of the law.
