Poland protests Mattel game that refers to 'Nazi Poland'

The Polish government is demanding that toy producer Mattel recall a party game and correct a card that refers to "Nazi Poland."

 

That language is hugely offensive to Poles because the country was subjected to a brutal occupation by Nazi Germany throughout World War II.

 

Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna said Friday that the Polish embassy in Washington is asking Mattel to withdraw "Apples to Apples," a game in which players compare different things.

 

The disputed card is entitled "Schindler' List" and says: "1993 Steven Spielberg film. Powerful, real-life story of a Catholic businessman who eventually saved over 1,000 Jews in Nazi Poland."
