Following protests from Jewish users, Google has removed Nazi-related applications from its Android downloads, saying in a statement that the apps were “upsetting” and violated the terms of service.
The apps came up in a search for the word “Jewish” in the Android App Marketplace. It was deleted Aug. 13.
Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, praised Google for its action. — jta
