Disappointed in Kingdom Come 2's Lack of Holocaust Representation

[M.D. Charcoal]

I’ve been enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 so far — the gameplay is solid, and I can appreciate the effort WokeHorse Studios has put into historical accuracy. But there’s something glaringly politically incorrect and frankly disturbing about this sequel.

We’re playing in Bohemia, a land that later became part of the modern Czech Republic. The game features multiple Jewish characters who discuss, quite accurately, their hardships living in medieval Europe. And yet… not a single mention of the Holocaust?!

This is a region and a people who were directly impacted by one of the greatest atrocities in human history. The fact that WokeHorse claims to care about authenticity but conveniently leaves out any reference to this monumental tragedy raises serious questions. Are they just ignorant? Or are they intentionally erasing history?

I get that the game is set in the 1400s, but isn't part of being a responsible developer understanding the broader historical context and ensuring you're not accidentally platforming antisemitism by omission?

In 2025, players are smarter and more aware. Leaving out any mention of the Holocaust feels like a lazy, dangerous oversight. It’s not enough to sprinkle in Jewish NPCs and call it representation. Do better, WokeHorse. Educate yourselves, consult historians, and include references that honor the full history of the Jewish people in Bohemia.

Otherwise, it’s hard not to see this as tacit denial, whether intentional or not.

Thoughts?

Are you looking for Steam awards?
The game is about Bohemia in 1403. The term Holocaust is generally associated with events in 20th century. Why would it be mentioned in the game?

ChatGPT bait. If you 'really' wanna waste points on awards send them my way instead.

The holocaust happened 500 years later.... dunno what you are getting at

The term didn't exist until then so.... I really don't know what you want to tell us with this post

OP Summary:
"WH is taking liberties already. WH should take more liberties just because I want it just for me and only me alone even if I'm making the insincere claim that it's for everyone. I'm also really doing this to pass-agg prove a different point that has nothing to do with what I'm requesting. I'm trolling."

yes, and if you notice there is also no reference to the nasa moon landing. I smell a conspiracy.

I´d appreciate it if you´d put at least some effort and logic into your baits. Like common, write something funny like for example that dude who claimed that starfield blew KCD2 out of the water. He got a lot of awards for his nonsense just because it is so funny and ridiculous. Try something like that instead.

Did OP mean antisemitism in Bohemia? Because the Holocaust happened WAY after the 1400s (The first Holocaust ghetto wasn't established until 1939 according to Wikipedia)

Perfect example of AI generated rage-bait that these losers spew around. Low effort trolls do not deserve to be fed.

Weak bait.

You paid full price for the game directly on steam.
Gave a negative review after 3 hours. Then played for 127 hours in total.
And now ask about holocaust in Bohemia in 1403?
