I wonder how that will be received.

If history is any indication this will not go down well. We can look back to MECC's 'Freedom!' which I grew up playing during the 90's. I was a big fan of old adventure games and this one was really challenging and not really dumbed down for children considering the subject. It was eventually pulled from the market even though it was a good game. Most kids just weren't able to comprehend the themes in the intended way.

Heya, I'm lead dev on Flight to Freedom. We're strongly hoping that history doesn't repeat itself here. The whole team of historians and educators and designers was very cognizant of the dangers of 'Nintendo-izing' and trivializing the subject and/or creating something too traumatic for students. Hopefully we have walked the narrow path between. So far teacher/student response has been ecstatic and the press has been kind: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/jinnygudmundsen/story/2012-02-05/black-hi

But as Kevin points us to in that link, parents must understand that this is not something that lives in isolation, a HUGE amount of work was put in place by Thirteen to create quality teacher support-materials and to do teacher-training across the country. This is really challenging but rewarding work. Cheers.
