The Pokemon Go craze continues and has now hit Holocaust memorials in Germany and a Jewish cemetery in Britain, JTA reported Sunday.

Players who use the highly popular application walk around real-life neighborhoods to hunt and catch virtual cartoon characters on their smartphone screens.

According to news reports cited by JTA, players have in recent days been gleefully seeking Pokemon creatures using their cellphones at a memorial for the 320 murdered Jews of Aurich, a town in Lower Saxony.

The new app has already caused trouble for Holocaust museums, as both the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, and the Auschwitz Museum in Poland have asked the application's developers to remove their museums from the app.

Gunther Siebels-Michel, on the board of the German-Israel Society in East Frisia, told the NWZ online newspaper last week that he was outraged over the use of the app at the memorial, calling the behavior "completely inappropriate."

He said the society would likely lodge a complaint with the U.S. developer of the game, Niantic.

Meanwhile in London, reported JTA, Pokemon-playing youngsters were found walking over graves in a Jewish cemetery in Edmonton search of the game’s virtual monsters.

Stanley Kaye, a local historian, asked the teens to refrain from doing so at Federation Cemetery on Monday, The Jewish News of London reported.

In southern Germany, Karl Freller, director of the Foundation for Bavarian Memorials, has written to Niantic asking them to keep the memorials at the former Dachau and Flossenburg concentration camps off the app.

But in Russia, the main Jewish religious group, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, said on July 19 that it does not mind people playing Pokemon Go around synagogues and other cultural buildings.

The group, which is a Chabad-affiliated umbrella, said it is not against the game as long as it is not disturbing the congregation.

"We don't see any problem," the Jewish federation's spokesman, Andrei Glotser, told the Tass news agency. "Let them come and search; maybe even something useful will come out of this!"

In fact, in St. Petersburg, the Grand Choral Synagogue even offered a prize – a kosher wine bottle – for anyone who catches a Pokemon on the premises.

In addition to all the above, the IDF has warned soldiers that the new app is not to be used on military bases, fearing soldiers might accidentally reveal sensitive information about military bases and army operations.
