(JEWISH GROUP) Hitler appears in the baby photos section of a New Jersey middle school

[Behind the Aegis]

Adolf Hitler cropped up in the student baby photos section of a New Jersey middle school yearbook, prompting condemnation from school officials and local Jewish leaders.

In a letter sent last Thursday to the school community, East Brook Middle School Principal Ryan Aupperlee said that the school in Paramus had launched an investigation into the incident in “coordination with law enforcement.”

“Adolf Hitler represents hatred, antisemitism, and the horrors of the Holocaust, including the murder of six million Jews,” Aupperlee wrote in the letter obtained by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “An image of him has no place in a yearbook created for our students. It does not reflect who we are or what East Brook stands for, and we condemn its inclusion without reservation.”

Sean Adams, the superintendent of Paramus Public Schools, told JTA in an emailed statement that the yearbooks were taken back from the students “the same day they were distributed, before the students left school for the day.”

1. The first red flag for me is the photo

It's a grainy b/w photo.
Middle School kids are 13-5 years old.
in 2010, they were using digital cameras.
How did a grainy b/w photo not catch the eye of the moderator (presumably an adult) as odd?
In the most generous reading I can give, the moderator is lazy.
As to the kids, most generous is they thought it was funny. The most likely (imo) it was done to incite others
