12. There are a few different issues.

The international Holocaust groups are concerned it will fuel more historical revisionism and denial because some of the Holocaust scenes never happened (chess). I, personally, discount this "objection" because it is a work of fiction anyway, so the idea this series would be more of a vehicle for Holocaust denialism is not an issue for me. The other objection I saw was navel-gazing contemplation of whether or not this was a for of "Jewexploitation", along the same lines of "Black exploitation" movies of the 70's and 80's. Again, to me, this is not a strong argument either because, while there may be some "stereotypes" (aren't there always, though?), it is one of the few pieces where Jews aren't wimps or passive victims, which was one of my only real issues with "The Man of High Castle."
