There are certainly plenty of games that target WWII and Nazis as villains without any trouble, albeit from a “lighter” perspective. But the Anne Frank story is well known and widely regarded as being an inspirational tale, and an important one.

Super Columbine Massacre RPG was based on an event that was a horror story from every angle—there was nothing people could take from it that was positive. But if a game were made that was culturally and historically sensitive, that showed players what it was like to be Anne Frank and to endure the trials she faced, and if it succeeded in evoking deeper understanding of that story in the player, I would think that a game worth praising, and I would hope others would think so as well.

Probably not much fun, but that’s not the point.
