Bangkok, Thailand – School Apologizes to Jewish Organization for Nazi Celebration

Bangkok, Thailand – A Thai school has apologized to an international Jewish human rights organization for its sponsorship of a celebration that involved a Nazi-themed parade.

A group of 200 students — between the ages of 6 and 18 — at Thewphaingarm School in Bangkok chose to dress on sports day, in red outfits with swastikas on their baseball caps behind a large sign with "NAZI" in shoulder-high letters, on their annual event, that divides students into teams.

Some students at the school wore elaborately stylized stormtrooper uniforms, carried fake rifles or performed the "sieg heil" salute. [AP]
